I've watched A LOT of videos on YT about people modifying the HF trailer for kayaks. No joke, yours is by far the best executed one I've seen yet. Very nice work! New sub too
Wow.....every video that says the ultimate trailer video should watch this one......this just blew my mind ....now I have a incredible idea for this summer project.... Only change I might make would be a sliding drawer system for the bottom to hold the tackle , stove and light clothing for weekend trips and cut down on the totes . And a winch out front to help pull up the peddling kayaks I'm not getting any younger..... Thank you for the brain storming ideas , you have inspired me to make double wide box unit instead of a stacking unit. 98 lbs before accessories is not a easy lift when your pushing 60...👍 👍 🇨🇦
Bad ass trailer. I just got one from my father in law. Been looking to modify mine. I like the look. I wanted something for camping&kayaking. This is perfect.
Did you bullnose the edges .and also you did a real nice job.hope mine turns out as good.mine is for canoes so the trailer is 17 ft my box will be 6 ft longer 4 x2.thank you for sharing. Jim.
This is awesome! Looking to build a kayak/rooftop tent trailer and found the 4x8 HF trailer as a possible starting point - you may have sold me! Great looking build man
Awesome job on the kayak trailer build. Very well thought out and executed. I am planning on getting a trailer also and will definitely be using your video as a guide. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job. I'm looking at kayak hauling solutions as I'm considering a fishing kayak but don't want to have to lift it on top of a vehicle. I like your design...the storage box is perfect to haul all kinds of stuff, and the upper rack would be great to haul my paddleboards. The only thing I would do different is use an aluminum trailer since I live very near the ocean and steel rusts here extremely quickly.
This is easily the best build I have seen so far. It is so clean and modular! Thank you for sharing. Would you please post the link to the cam locks? 🙏🙏🙏
I've got the same trailer and I've been trying to figure out how to best modify it for hauling three kayaks. This looks like a great example to follow. Nice job!
Awesome trailer. I want to get a HF trailer and build a kayak trailer myself. I thought you were from Michigan when I saw the upside down sticker of the UP in the back of you can. Then you said you took a trip from Wisconsin through the UP to Alpena. So cool. I live in Alpena and thought it was cool you mentioned it.
I fish with my buddy on Long Lake. I just have a cheap Kayak but love to get out there. A trailer would make it so much easier to load up and get out there. Thanks for the trailer video. It will help.
hi there, i really like your trailer you have built from top to bottom. might be the best kayak trailer i have ever seen,can you send me the plans and measuementsof the trailer so i can build just like yours. thank you.
I've been wanting a trailer for my two kayaks and the original plan was something much simpler. This blows all other ideas out the water! What I love most about this is the ability to leave my kayak all geared up for next time and still put away. Totally worth it! One question I do have is how tall is rack of the trailer without a kayak on top?
Thank you very much! I'm actually using it right now at a campground but I will measure it when I get home. I actually just lowered it a bit to fit a roof top tent in the garage and I can't remember what the height is.
Nicely done . We built ours from an old boat trailer. Top opens on it . Only thing is we have to take our kayaks off first . We carry almost all our camping stuff in it plus eight rod holders. Contact me for some pics if you like to . Yours looks awesome.
Nice build. A couple of missing points, I think. Unless I missed it, no mention was made of the build costs - in both time and money. The former may be addressed in one of the build videos, but a cost summary would be useful for comparison with commercial offerings. With a few to several thousand miles traveled, how does this trailer perform in therms of drag and mileage. One would assume that moving the boat and gear from the top, resulted in less drag. Did the added weight of the trailer make any difference in mileage - lost or gained?
Thank you! My cost all in is about $800 I believe. More than just the cost savings for me is the ability to customize the trailer to exactly what works for your specific needs. Its been great so far on the road. Travels very well at highway speeds and hardly feels like it is back there. Fuel efficiency suffers a few mpg when pulling but not significantly for me.
Great job on your trailer. I have a Eddyline Caribbean kayak 14’, love it for being so light and easy to paddle. I’ve been looking for a new project to do this fall, looks like I will renovate the HF trailer and build a similar box like yours. Thanks for posting the video, it helps with my building process. I just watch a bunch of build videos then start making my plans. Wish you lots of great fishing trips tight lines.
Excellent job on the construction and attention to detail. I thought your video was VERY well done. You should/could offer the plans for your build and folks like me would buy them... $29.95 complete with a list of materials and sources!!! Good deal Lucille!! Best to you... nice job!
I understand your concern for sure but it has been pretty good at highway speeds so far. I would love to upgrade axle at some point and put bigger more off road tires on it.
Hi John, thanks for watching and subscribing! The box is made of 1/2 plywood and 2x4's with stainless L brackets for added support. It's solid enough for me to walk on. The box itself came out to over 300 lbs and actually makes the trailer ride really nice.
Thank you! I have the Yakima big stack vertical arms that allow the smaller kayaks to be loaded on their edge. I put those up top on the crossbars. My large angling kayak goes right on top of the box.
Awesome trailer. I do agree with making it a little bit shorter. That extra storage space is definitely useful but having the kayaks up high defeats the purpose of the reason I bought the trailer. Seems like a nice simple idea. I could see myself making one about 8 inches high just to fit all the bulky items like fishing rods, paddles, and life jackets.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to steal your design lol. Great build! Is it possible for you to list the mounts you have on the top rails. Looks like one sits flat and the other sits sideways. I need to get 4 kayaks on mine. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you! I used primer and Rust-Oleum paint. Box is not weather tight but it was almost totally dry after a 8 hour drive in the rain so that's good enough for my needs :)
Loved the video... great job on it. I may borrow parts of your build here if that's OK. You really thought it out well. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
what size wheels are on this I am thinking of starting one, just have a concern on a six hour ride at 70 mph with that trailer. Whats your thoughts would you have any concerns? Thank you
They are only 12" wheels but I think they are fine for light duty. I've traveled 9 hours at speeds of 60-75mph and had no issues. I did install bearing buddies to make sure that the hubs were lubed well and I carry a spare. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for very much! It's about 4 sheets of plywood and nut exactly sure about the 2x4s. Probably around 12 depending on how strong and heavy you want the box to be.
@@MSMAdventures No problem! I am dying to build this thing, going to pick up lumber this week when I get some free time, I got a steal on the same harbor freight trailer used for 50 bucks, couldn't beat the price. Thank you for the quick response! the help/info is greatly appreciated
I'm curious about the cam locks, did you just notch the 2x4? It's hard to tell. I really love your work here and am inspired, it's exactly what I want to build. Thanks for sharing.
Hi.. Very nice job on the custom trailer. Just what I'm wanting to do with my HF trailer exactly like yours. Do you how much the entire trailer as you have it with Kayak and gear weighs? and how much the trailer weight capacity is. I thought these trailers were only like 900 lbs. capacity?... I had a nasty blow out on one of my tires a while ago, scared the heck out of me. Thanks for sharing your video with us!
Thank you. I haven't had it weighed yet but I did estimate based on the lumber that was used. Capacity for the trailer is 1190 lbs. I estimate that I am well under that at under 800 lbs fully loaded with my gear. It rides really well with the weight of the wood box on it. If you were really concerned about blow outs I would probably upgrade to a better quality tire since they are probably not the highest quality that come with it. So far they have been great though. Thanks for watching my channel!
Hello from Montreal Canada! Excellent build Scott! With the long winters here, will have to attempt a similar build myself. If you were to do this again, would you still use a Harbor Freight as your core trailer or go with something with an independant suspension? I'm sure you looked at all options with prices..any advice? You should Google Sketch your work and sell it, I would be your first customer :)
Thank you very much! I would use the Harbor Freight trailer again. Bang for the buck I'm impressed with this little trailer. With the weight of the custom box it rides pretty nice going down the road. I'm sure there are better trailers to use but any other options I looked at were several times the price. This worked great for my needs. Good luck with your build and have fun with it! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Tim! I really appreciate that. Here is a link to the rubber bumper I used. Red Hound Auto 4 Rubber Bumper for Trailer Compatible with Ramp Door Truck 2 Inches Thick Cone Replacement Cargo Stop www.amazon.com/dp/B01N64CQD0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0c-bEbNZYWAA6
Thank you very much! I don't have plans unfortunately since I pretty much winged it from the vision in my head :) Let me know if I can help though. I kept measurements pretty simple around sheets of 4x8 plywood. 4' x 8' x 2' tall box.
Wow! This is from 2yrs ago too! Glad I found this video! Gonna watch some more of your vids. Thanks for an awesome idea in 2021!
Thanks!
What did you use to seal prime and then paint the plywood? It looks awesome and this is actually what I want to do
That is nicely done . Great job . We have built a trailer to carry our kayaks and camping gear . Just a 4 by 8 by 2 old boat trailer .
Thank you very much! Fun stuff
I've watched A LOT of videos on YT about people modifying the HF trailer for kayaks. No joke, yours is by far the best executed one I've seen yet. Very nice work! New sub too
Thank you very much!
Yes it is. I think u could sleep in it if u wanted .and yes mine is too tall
Indeed, I'm building mine and will base it off yours. I'm just not clear on how you mounted the piano hinges for the doors.
The piano hing screws to the bottom of the main box. So it is between the box and the trailer frame. Hope that makes sense. Have fun with the build!
WOW!!! Great looking trailer. Good job. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you!

That is actually incredibly well thought out and fabricated.
c k thank you!
This is the real deal. Great design & very functional. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you!
I love this. Already have the trailer set up for Predator yak on it but the extra space is priceless.
You put a lot of thought and time into that build. Looks good.
Thank you very much!
@@MSMAdventures The key part is putting in the thought before the time.
And thanks for putting in the time to show us.
Nice job! You gave me several great ideas for my own kayak trailer project. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Bad ass trailer. I just got one from my father in law. Been looking to modify mine. I like the look. I wanted something for camping&kayaking. This is perfect.
Thank you very much! Have fun with your build.
Super awesome trailer the details are phenomenal thank you for sharing God bless....
Thank you very much!
Trailer? That RC Jet is bad ass!
This guy did a first class job. I bought a Sea Doo trailer for my Kyack, but he gave me an excellent idea for storage. Thank you for your video.
Did you bullnose the edges .and also you did a real nice job.hope mine turns out as good.mine is for canoes so the trailer is 17 ft my box will be 6 ft longer 4 x2.thank you for sharing. Jim.
Rounded corners at the 90 on the plywood.. Haven’t seen that - looks great!
Thank you! Used 1/4 round :)
Nice build! Simple but very efficient build!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the video, sure like the yak trailer set up, excellent build!!!
Thank you!
This is awesome! Looking to build a kayak/rooftop tent trailer and found the 4x8 HF trailer as a possible starting point - you may have sold me! Great looking build man
Thank you very much!
This trailer build is absolutely phenomenal. Gonna have to look at the 2 build videos to see how you went about some of the stuff you did
Thank you so much!
Good job, nicely finished
Thank you!
Dang. I been looking online for a build like this but....woah. I know this posted awhile ago but you killed it my 👦
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing and going very in-depth! I have a HF trailer to assemble and register and then modify. I’m liking a lot of what you did here. 👍🏼
Thank you!
Great build, thanks for posting!
Thank you!
This is awesome, I’m likely going to join the party on building this project. Really nice, well done
Thank you very much! Enjoy!
Really dig your trailer! I'm building mine now and I'm going to copy the rod holder set up and lights!
Thank you! Have fun with your build.
This is an amazing build and something I’d like to do to my harbor freight trailer. I don’t suppose you have a parts list by chance? Well done! Thx
Thank you. No parts list unfortunately since I had a vision and went for it lol
@@MSMAdventures no worries. I appreciate the reply and should have enough to go on in your video.
Nice build. I know this is late, but can you tell me where you got the combination cam locks from?
Wow awesome do you have the plans for the box I gotta make one like that
Holy cow great job😮. How did you get your top boards to look so smooth and rounded ? Did don’t look like there is a slip at all.
Awesome job on the kayak trailer build. Very well thought out and executed. I am planning on getting a trailer also and will definitely be using your video as a guide. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this. I have been looking for my kayak trailer build and this is video monumental!
Thank you!
I love how it looks. Do you have the plans? Or a list of everything that you used?
Very nice job! Very much appreciate the tour.
Thank you very much!
nice job. I was thinking make box a little higher then you said lower. Thank you
Wow, very impressive. Looks custom, professional and just perfect for a kayak. 👍

Thank you very much. They are Yakima arms for strapping kayaks on their side.
This is great! Did you paint before or after assembly?
Nice set up! I have been wanting something like this for a while now.
Thank you very much!

Scott this is awesome trailer. My plan is to build a similar trailer. My question is do you have any idea of what your tongue weight is for trailer?
Thank you! It is under 100lbs not sure of the exact weight.
This is awesome!
Thank you very much!
Love your craftwork, never seen anything like it.

Thanks! All 1/2" plywood
Top class !!!

Nice job , wonder if you had to get a tag for your trailer.
Ok so funded the weight for tag but if you take to another state will they require one.
In the states I have traveled through, they honer your home states rules. I contact the state patrol before traveling to double check their rules.
So the upright supports are 2x4? Looks great. I may be recreating this setup.
Correct 2x4. Thank you! Have fun with it, I love it! Thanks for watching.
How do feel the tires hold up? Since you have been riding lots - any more tire feedback?
Great job on your trailer. I have a Eddyline Caribbean kayak 14’, love it for being so light and easy to paddle.

@@MSMAdventures I'm planning to incorporate similar features from your kayak trailer. It looks awesome!
Thank you!
really interested on what lumber you used, and where you got the hinges for doors and the on doors
Mostly 1/2 plywood and 2x4's. The hinges are just stainless piano hinges. Pretty simple but effective.
That's the best mod I've seen. How did u round over your corners?
It is actually 1/4 round glued and nailed
Thank you!
Do the uprite 2x4 on the sides not in to the brackets as well as the box? Thinking of doing this nice job
Yes they bolt to the box and into the trailers stock brackets. Makes it nice and solid. Thank you!
You take it up to highway speeds? The HF trailer package still makes me nervous. I dig what you’ve done with your build!
I understand your concern for sure but it has been pretty good at highway speeds so far. I would love to upgrade axle at some point and put bigger more off road tires on it.
What is the box made out of? I love how it turned out
Hi John, thanks for watching and subscribing! The box is made of 1/2 plywood and 2x4's with stainless L brackets for added support. It's solid enough for me to walk on. The box itself came out to over 300 lbs and actually makes the trailer ride really nice.
@@MSMAdventures I've been trying to get ideas for mine and yours is the one of the best I've seen. How can you fit 3 more on top?
Thank you! I have the Yakima big stack vertical arms that allow the smaller kayaks to be loaded on their edge. I put those up top on the crossbars. My large angling kayak goes right on top of the box.
@@MSMAdventures thanks for the reply and the info 👍🏻👍🏻
I know this was posted three years ago, but what kind of screws did you use for the exterior brackets?
Great job bud!
Thank you!
Awesome trailer. I do agree with making it a little bit shorter. That extra storage space is definitely useful but having the kayaks up high defeats the purpose of the reason I bought the trailer. Seems like a nice simple idea. I could see myself making one about 8 inches high just to fit all the bulky items like fishing rods, paddles, and life jackets.
When he said shorter, I was thinking lengthwise, not heightwise, which makes more sense.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH A shorter trailer does not make more sense. It would make it harder to back up, especially at boat ramps to launch the kayak.
@@silverapple2011 you need to take your kayak trailer down a boat ramp? Man up and muscle it down.
@@stay_free Yes, especially when I'm hauling 5 kayaks. A shorter trailer would make it hard to backup into a garage too.
@@stay_free Little girl over here bitchin about what somebody else does with their trailer! LOL. Sure got nothin else to do with their time.

Awesome thank you! Enjoy your build. The mounts are Yakima but I forget the model names at the moment
Be careful about getting top heavy with 4 yaks.
Very nice build! Question? Is the inside of the box weather tight? What kind of paint ?
Thank you! I used primer and Rust-Oleum paint. Box is not weather tight but it was almost totally dry after a 8 hour drive in the rain so that's good enough for my needs :)

Thank you! For now I did notch the wood by trial and error for the cams. I may add a plate to clean up the look over the winter.
@@MSMAdventures Started on my trailer yesterday. I may have more questions...
Awesome!
Great idea! I could see that working for a RTT without the yak rack on top as well. Is your mileage suffering any?
Thank you! I'm sure it suffers a bit but nothing very noticeable.
I'm loving the idea of a rtt! Thanks!
Love the build. How well do your rods ride? Any wear marks on them? Thanks
They have traveled well. No damage that I've seen.
How did you roll the corners like that without them leaking ? I am about to do a build like this for my wife and I
I used 1/4 round. Glued, nailed and sanded before primer and paint. Have fun with your build!
Hi.. Very nice job on the custom trailer. Just what I'm wanting to do with my HF trailer exactly like yours. Do you how much the entire trailer as you have it with Kayak and gear weighs? and how much the trailer weight capacity is. I thought these trailers were only like 900 lbs. capacity?... I had a nasty blow out on one of my tires a while ago, scared the heck out of me. Thanks for sharing your video with us!
Thank you. I haven't had it weighed yet but I did estimate based on the lumber that was used. Capacity for the trailer is 1190 lbs. I estimate that I am well under that at under 800 lbs fully loaded with my gear. It rides really well with the weight of the wood box on it. If you were really concerned about blow outs I would probably upgrade to a better quality tire since they are probably not the highest quality that come with it. So far they have been great though. Thanks for watching my channel!
Amazing. do you know what the weight of it is, fully loaded?
Is really nice trailer you did the right thing, trailers out there are very priced and suck 😀👍
Thanks!
VERY NICE!!!
Thank you!

Great color...I thought it was all metal
Nice build! How did you secure the exterior plywood to the frame on the inside? I don't see any hardware on the outside.
I used bolts through the plywood and the 2x4's into the holes in the frame. Thanks for watching!
was there a reason you used 4 locks, vs just 1 in the center of each lid
What kind/color paint did you use? Looks slick.
Continued watching video and found out thanks!
Nice trailer build! Do you think it possible to go taller to haul at least 5. Or would that be too much?
Thank you! I think you could definitely go taller to suit your needs. I was limited because I wanted to fit it in the garage :)
Very cool trailer set up! By far the best one for my buck. Gonna try and copy this you wouldn't happen to have the measurements or plan for this?
