In Response To: Other: Kayak Trailer (Kudzu)

: I retired the SOF trailer idea for now. It's a viable idea, just really needs
: a metal frame work and it's not worth the effort expense at this time. So
: I found a utility trailer I am going to build a rack to bolt to the
: trailers sides to haul boats and paddles on. I could put a lot of kayaks
: on this trailer if I wanted. Most times 2 or 3 boats would probably be it.

: However I am thinking that I should just go ahead and just make it so that it
: could haul 6 boats. Thats about as many people as you can put in a
: vehicle. It should give me more than I need just in case. Just curious if
: anyone sees a flaw in my thinking?

Can't see any flaw in that thinking. I made mine so it has no other purpose in life other than boats...it can be used for other things , but it's life is dedicated to boats.

I used a K car rear end and it has shocks to take some of the road abuse from the boats.
