Project Yak Trailer
I started with a used harbor freight boat trailer.
Stripped off the boat stuff, shot it with a couple rattle cans of dupli color bed coating and some new shoes.
The guts of the yak trailer trunk.
Finished product.
Kayaks racked, stacked and ready to roll.

Yep, 2x6s. all the wood is treated. should last longer than the trailer.Kuzz wrote:Did you use 2x6s for the "trunk"?
I was still trying figuring out the locking mechanizm. Very simple solution you have there. Looks like I found the answer.
The trunk door is locked via a pad lock and a 6" lag tread eyebolt. If the door gets lose/tight, it can be adjusted with a turn or two of the eyebolt.
Z~MAN,, I've been in the suds a time or two , but at heart I'm still a surf-fishermen. love to sit on the beach in the shade with a coldone watchin the big rods.
