If I were making a dedicated trailer I'd get an axle from somewhere Like Norther Tool, Harbor Freight, or Tractor Supply Co. and build a wooden or metal frame with vinyl siding to make an enclosed trailer that I could store the boat(s) in. But then, I have a lot of space to park stuff like that now-a-days.
