: 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?
I use a utility trailer now set up for 3 boats and it sits nicely behind the car and has very little windage, something that can't be said for trailers with tree's. I can carry an extra 2 or 3 on the roof if needed for things like a car shuttle. For me at least I'd rather not have to deal with a trailer with a tree all the time for the odd times that you'd use it. Also once the tree is added, you can't remove the boats and use the trailer for much of anything else, mine's set up to move motorcycles too as well as plywood etc. The wood could be loaded from the side I suppose, easier from the rear.
