Author: knarfksSubject: kayaks on a hitch???Posted: 29 Oct 2016 at 5:08pmTrailer If I had a place to store it I would do a DIY trailer. For $279 you can't go wrong. Craigslist a waterproof/lockable trailer box, $75 in lumber and you have an amazing kayak trailer. Edited by knarfks - Today at 5:09pm
