Hey goz,

It's a dedicated kayak trailer, I already have a custom cage trailer I built for general use a few years ago.

The width isn't a major issue as the kayaks will be mounted on a 45 degree angle if you get what I mean. Sort of like a J rack arrangement.

Hey serge, yeah mate. Taken them out a few times, very happy with them.

Should be just about finished the trailer by tomorrow night.

Hi all, I am picking up a 6x4 trailer tomorrow ready to start building the yak trailer. I need to carry 2 x 12ft kayaks. I was thinking of making some racks that sit 2ft above the trailer so I can store camping gear etc underneath them. I will be extending the draw bar by 4ft aswell. Any ideas? Any ...

Hey "JustFish", looks like you might have been blessed. The kingfishers are a highly regarded paddle yak, I did a lot of research recently before buying our new yaks and the kingfisher was way up there, great value for money. At $800 that is a great buy! Jump on it mate. That's my 2cents a...

Yeah mate, just tacking a new avenue onto the 20tr old fishing hobie haha.

Yeah mate, that was me.

His many couples out there own matching RIOT escape kayaks lol.
