Title: Re: Canoe Trailer
Post by wally on Feb 28th, 2009 at 3:40pm
I've borrowed this creation several times from my neighbor.  Old boat trailer....some backyard welding....but drill and bolt would work just fine too.....some outdoor carpet padding...."hot water copper pipe" insulation over the racks works good too.  Painted, green-treat box with beveled top to shed rain.....works like a charm....box is lockable and all our gear safe and dry inside.  Stinky clothes in there on way back too.  Carries it's own spare, lug wrench, and jack...

Only mod I would have changed after test using it....The canoe racks raised about 6" higher would make it much easier to get in the storage box while canoes are on top.

The trailer.....Think he paid $100 for the trailer and has about $200 additional into it.
