YAK TRAILERS

Post by fishsmith »

Mulling over some ideas :idea: for a yak trailer to cart the PA and Cams Outback, maybe 2 PA's in future if he goes that way..So far I like the Idea of a tradie syle set up that I can add some jerry can holders, BBQ, Aux battery and general camping/fishing gear that I can lock up securely whilst out on the water..Keen to see any ideas pics etc..Scott.. :)

Hello Fishsmith,

you considered "EzyTrailer boat trailer" I believe you can get it in a kit form for a reasonable price. :D Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Have considered that style, and they would be nice and easy to load/unload. But I'm after something I can secure all my gear in and do a few highway kilometres with as doing 8 to 900km for a weekend Yak fish isn't that uncommon.

I'll start with a big apology as I don't remember whose this trailer belongs to but I did ask about it at safety beach :oops:

I think it's brilliant.

It's based on a boat trailer, securely stores your gear and is heavy duty. Apparently it tips (or was that someone else's?) so it's a bit easier to load single handed.

Just a great conversion.

Ditch the merc and stick a couple of PA's in there instead, just an :idea: .

That lovely trailer above is mine and it all started from a second hand (trade in) boat trailer I bought from a manufacturer for $300.
Added a marine ply base and boxes on top, lights and rough paint job. It does tilt and is soooo easy to offload and upload.
Still a work in progress with a extra rack to go above the PA to carry an extra yak if needed and a couple of other ideas to add.
It's well worth looking for a second hand boat trailer out there.
Cheers,
Matty
