      Awesome. Thanks for watching. It works out well for us. Drives well too. I live about 8-10 miles from my lake. Bumpy side roads. Then a road I can dive about 65 mph on for several minutes. Handles well.

    Very nice build. I just found a B&S sportsman trailer awhile back and am building it out currently. Amazing trailers for sure. Setting it up with a ladder rack making them sit over/under.

    Two things. You will probably want some fenders to keep debris from hitting the bottom of your kayaks. Also with the amount of overhang you have at the back of the trailer, your lights might be difficult to see.

    Great build. The only issue is you overlooked the guide-on and blind aspect issue when navigating the trailer in reverse. You can not actually see the trailer while driving backward so a visual reference point is needed.

    • @rjguess
      @rjguess  Год назад +2

      I can see the trailer. I have a back up camera. But because of that, I did overlook that. I actually was going to build a guide to see it. Might be an additional project soon. Thanks, you are an observant person. I appreciate that.

    Thanks for sharing this . I love the way you did this build out. I'm looking to do the same for my 2 fishing kayaks. Just wondering where you purchased the brackets to attach the 2*6s vertical to the 2*10.

      The brackets with the loops in them. I got those at Lowe’s.

      @rjguess  4 месяца назад

      Those two black U brackets are what originally held the two 2x4’s. I cut them in half. Made 4 of them. I just used wood screws and attached to the 2x6. Painted over them to prevent rust.

      I don’t remember the measurements. I’m currently on vacation. When I get back home I can measure the trailer. But I am pretty sure you can haul two hobie kayaks on it.

    I'm looking to do the same or buy a double Jetski trailer.
    From what I've read, you don't need to register any trailer in Texas that has a 4000 total weight capacity. .
    Is this true or have you heard of this?
    I'm finding trailers but no titles. I'm curious if I can homemade it & if I do have to register it, will TP&W register it?
    Thanks & Tight Lines 🤟

    • @rjguess
      @rjguess  Год назад

      Good questions. I live in Oklahoma so I am not too familiar with Texas trailer laws. But here in Oklahoma you don’t need to register trailers like this. I had a 17.5 foot bad tracker a few years ago. That trailer it came on was not registered. I see makeshift trailers all over these parts. I wish I had a better answer for you. Thanks for watching my video! Tight Lines to you bro!

    I hope you didn't make it wider than your gate.

      I was outside in a well ventilated area with wind blowing. I do appreciate your concern for my health and safety though. That is very kind. It’s not illegal here as far as I know. But I did plan on putting some fenders on it. I sold it a week ago though.
