Jetskii or Utility to Yak trailer conversion kit

Post by primrib »

I found this in looking for rigging my converted/home built jetski to yak trailer conversion.

I drove I-10 east out of Houston and picked it up rather than pay shipping.

Nice kit.
I did the same with galvanized Unistrut and square U bolts. Plastidipped the ends of the Unistrut to keep from cutting the beegeebas outta myself. Made 4 mounts using those Grey car topper foam pads glued to 1/2 ply fabbed up in a upside down square U shape. Loading was EZ sliding on the Uni, once located, Id slip the pads under bow and stern and chinch down.

I could get 2 yaks side by side and once did a third on top with more pads on the halls of the boats. Trailer pulled like a dream after I took a leaf out of the springs (old jet ski trailer) up to 90 MPH (toll roads). Pulled it with a little Scion XB (the box) so fuel cost was next to nada

Little trailer I had back in the day. Box was for rod storage on one side and paddles and gear on the other.
