I think the time has come for me to get rid of my kayak trailer. Now that I have a truck again I can get my yaks around just fine and it’s taking up too much space. I’m gonna go with ceiling hoist mounts for my yaks to store them out of the way. The trailer: it’s an early 1970’s thunderbolt brand trailer. I got it in late 2015 I believe and in the spring of 2016 I did a restoration. Sanded the frame and applied multiple coats of primer. Then finished it with enamel implement paint. Put new diamond plate fenders,LEDs, and coupler on it. In the summer of 2019 I put new bearings on it and bearing buddies. Both tires were replaced and I added a matching spare that is mounted to the tongue. It’s been garage kept since January 2017. I pulled this trailer with 2 kayaks to Florida in October 2019. No issues going 75mph on the interstate. Since then, it’s been out of the barn less than 10 times. It pulls great; has good weight to it so you don’t have to worry about it jumping around. Can easily be pulled by any 6 cylinder vehicle. I wouldn’t hesitate to take off with it hours from home right now. Hard to put a price on it. It’s definitely sturdier than some of those chincy yak trailers being sold. I’ll start at $800 and go from there.

You do good work! I would think someone would be able to put that to good use.
