: I too have a converted 4x8 utility trailer with an extended (actually
: replaced) tongue. Mine is one of those built in the Ozarks of all angle
: iron, pretty strong, though a tad crude. I added Yakima risers and
: crossbars for support, and will hull risers (carries the boats on their
: sides) can easily carry 4.

: Only problem is now I have too many boats and need to add a second tier :)

: Bill H.

Bill, I'm curious why you selected the Yakima risers and crossbars over simply adding 2" stock and would you share the particulars on your hull risers. I don't have a preference for putting the kayaks upright and if there are good side mounts available that would allow for up to 4 across then I wouldn't have to have a second tier.

Thanks again,

John S.
