Aluminum Trailers

A while back I posted a note that someone near Albany had a sale on small aluminum trailers, and someone posted that they drive past the place getting to and from work.

I can't find that thread and I'm the guy who started it!

Does anyone remember that store?  Is it still in business?  I think it's time to get serious about a small kayak trailer.

And Shannon, it has to be a small trailer, practically teeny, so I can stand it up against a wall in the garage.  That's all the room I have for storing one.

I suppose it was Harbor Freight. There is one in Albany. Someone on the board here worked there, too, I recall.

I tried to follow up on that last June but it was a one time deal apparently.  It was a self storage or something like that between Albany and Lebanon. Definitely not harbor freight.

That’s doable, the one I built for cjweinhe was only 4ft wide at the outside of the wheels. Got room to build  a pole barn?

Yeah, it wasn't Harbor Freight and I hoped it was some kind of dealership, not a one time thing.  Rats!  Thank you guys.  I guess I'm back in the hunt.

I bet you did, and did a fine job of it, too, but in spite of warnings you still don't weld aluminum!   

I believe it was me.
I'm going that way today and I'll check it out.

Why thank you!

These are a bit spendy, but it's an option.

Obligtory kayak fishing content.
Went out of Depoe Bay yesterday for the time it takes to get 3/4 of the way to the first can and back.
Wind came up earlier and stronger than forecast, small craft advisory flag way flying

Yeah they are but less expensive than Malone or Hobie or Yakima trailers.  Thank you for the suggestion.

I really appreciate you doing this for me.  I'll get my kids in Salem down there as soon as I can.

Obligatory Kayak Fishing Comment:

Yep, it's still Winter and the winds are fickle... but at least you got the kayak in the water.  That's more than I've been able to say in 2019.
