Good lord. I can tell from your previous posts that a lot of thought went into that purchase. Got to be disappointing to give it up so soon. Good deal for someone!.

I'm getting older and I've been loosing the strength in my left arm and thought that it was just a passing thing but lifting the yak up and down on my 4-Runner is killing my arm.
I had planned on purchasing a kayak trailer ... but the starting price of $1,100 stops me dead in my tracks.
Believe me ... this is upsetting to me.
Thanks for your response,
Dan

Trailer option

Hello Dan,
I picked up a late model used jet ski trailer from Craigslist for $450 and it hauls my PA 14 around nicely. I adjusted the bunks on the trailer a little bit and I'm able to leave the yak stored on it full time with no problem. I store the whole thing outside with a reflective tarp over the top and it does fine.

If you are patient you can probably find a better deal on a trailer than I did.

Good luck

Chris

Hang in there, Dan. Once you catch a giant fish out of your boat, it'll make a lot of that pain and trouble all worthwhile!!!

Might be good trying to use it a couple more times to see if you can come up with an adequate and reasonable solution to these issues you're concerned about.

$189 and an additional 20% off coupon.

$189.00 = 9% tax = $206.01 + the over weight freight $50.00 = $256.01
Could I leave the kayak stored on the trailer in the upright position with out deforming it's hull?
Thule has a "Glide and set 883" for about $200. I would also need to install a tow bar and a hitch for about another $200.
Were talking over $650.00 here.
I was at Harbor Freight checking their trailers out about 3 - 4 weeks ago.
Thank you for the suggestion. Hmmmm.

actually a buddy paid $160 out the door. The cashier let him use this coupon http://instore.thread.co/retailmenot...5CF2DZVD2SXMBY

He bought round bars and kayak mounts on craigslist for $100

His looks like the pic below
