I was going to fish today but one thing led to another and with the next 2 W/Es I'm camping - the Murray this W/E coming and LL the week after
I dicided to do some more on the trailer

before I did anything though I got the gurney out on the yak there was still fresh elephant and gummy blood and guts in the foot wells and it wasn't starting to smell fresh
if you check the pics you will see it was yellow ,dont think it has been that colour for a while

So the trailer I'm quite happy how easy it is to slide the yak on and off so the next step is to do some storage . I wonted the roof to be high enough that my rod holders ,seat and esky can stay on the yak it does make setting up and packing up pretty quick
I've made a frame strong enough to carry another yak or my canoe over the top high enough to clear the yak all set up except the rods
there is a sheet wall going in between the kayak and the blue box both ends on the boue box side will be filled in and a roof with a
full lenth lifting side door
this is for storage so all my gear will fit in there and it will be able to be locked

I have plans to cover the yak as well including a side swing up door as well thats stage 3

I just hope the mojo didn't get washed off with the used gummy guts and WP mud stains

I would have thought it a bit soft for cheater to have washed his yak.

Just a quick question Cheater,
Is the colour of the concrete driveway a direct result of washing your yak?

Hahahaha :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
