: I have been working on and off (mostly off) for a few months on converting a
: Harbor Freight utility trailer (the small one 4'x 3 1/3') to haul kayaks
: and gear. In addition to the cost of the trailer ($179), I spent $160 in
: materials and about 6 hours of labor. I posted some additional pictures
: and details on my site.

Looks good Marcel,

The trailer looks quite high and has a narrow width is it quite stable? How does it handles cross winds loaded?
I'm thinking of building one myself.

Cheers Tony
