I just finished building a kayak trailer when I discovered I have to move for work...Custom Built trailer. Used twice. Constructed on professionally built & wired frame to hold 3 kayaks (1 on each side, 1 on top rack) but, could easily hold more. Can easily replace kayak (in photo) with Windsurfers or surfboards, etc. Frame up custom wood container and rack. Exterior has 3 coats heavy duty oil paint, some treated natural wood for accent, interior has three coats of marine exterior. INTERIOR FEATURES include-Wet storage with large, vented drains. For lifejackets, wetsuits, backrests, etc.-Seperate Dry storage w/boat style floor drains (so you can hose it out)-Non-slip floor from front to back (stops gear from shifting around)-Lockable split door access for the Wet/Dry storage-Pneumatic door lifters
