How to Build a RUSTPROOF Kayak Trailer!

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey guys getting ready to start a new project here one of the many additions that are coming to the channel this is my new kayak trailer uh assemble it yourself it's all aluminum so i think that's going to help out on the rust my old trailer you can see there's parts rusting all over on there a lot of the frames galvanized steel but even that's showing some rust so i'm gonna get started on getting this thing together and let you guys see how it goes all right no paperwork it was all lost so we're just gonna have to it's not a big deal do it off the ipad all right getting started got a ton of bolts to put together so i gotta get all these joints put together and uh once i get all those bolted together i'll uh come back and show you where we're at [Music] all right guys that's it for today i'm gonna uh do all the wiring tomorrow i'll uh see you guys tomorrow morning okay so i went to lowe's this morning and picked up all the supplies some pressure treated two by fours and two by sixes pvc and all the hardware so now that i have everything that i need i can get started on customizing this trailer and turning it into a rust proof kayak trailer all right you can see what i'm doing here i'm attaching these cross pieces uh that are going to be the anchor points for the runners that are gonna run down and hold the pvc for each kayak so there'll be a runner here here here and here and i'm just using pressure treated two by fours and stainless steel uh hex bolts and hardware so won't rust so we're gonna get the bolts on these and tighten them down and then i'll give you a look at it uh when i'm done see i countersunk them so they wouldn't stick up when i put the runners on in case that's where runner's gonna be won't be in the way so that's where i'm at now next is getting started on the runners [Music] once all the runners are cut then i've got to position them on the trailer to make sure they will fit snug under the kayak and hold it in place so once placement is verified then i attach them with some deck screws and then get started on attaching the pvc to the two by sixes i've got the runners for the hobie set they're spaced just right so it'll slide right in there i did put in the eye bolts here i'm getting a boat transom ratchets that'll mount onto the frame of the trailer right there so i don't have to mess with winding straps or any of that it'll mount right there in this hole and then come over hook there and the ratchet will be right here pull it tight same thing up here so i can't do the other side until i get my new kayak in and i make sure the size is exactly right all right good morning the trailer build is complete and i'm gonna show you the finished product and what all that i've done okay last you saw it i just had this side done but i had to wait because you put these runners to where they fit right into the groove here on your hole so it'll hold your kayak tight and you won't have like one single pressure point if that you would if you went like straight across with supports you can see i used the lag bolts i don't know if you can even see it might be too dark down in there and stain everything stainless steel i got the ratchets from bass pro shop you see here it's nice because the previous trailer i was always having to tie down the straps after i'd ratchet it down so now these just retract oop there we go hook it and then when you're done they just suck right back in you don't have to worry about it but you can see the old town sits perfectly in there i you don't have to over tighten the straps they're just kind of tight but there's no there's no play at all so i feel really confident that the trailer is going to hold everything just fine wiring lighting all that's done and checked so everything on here is either pressure treated wood pvc or aluminum and stainless steel hardware so we should be free of having to worry about any more rust so i hope you guys enjoyed the video um if you have any questions leave them in the comments i'll uh answer everything so i'm gonna get this out we're gonna go fishing so tight lines everybody see you on the next one
