I plan un writing up a more detailed post on this, but here is a smaller kayak trailer I just finished up and tested out last weekend.  The base is a Harbor Freight 40"x48" trailer (their smallest) with a payload limit of 1,000 lbs.  I replaced the original U-shaped tow bar with a much stouter and longer 2.5"x2.5"x1/8" HSS and bolted it together using SAE Grade 8 bolts.  The J racks are for my wife's 14 ft touring boat and I load my Hobie Outback flat on the gunnels on the other side.  Got 32 MPG with car and trailer full of gear.  Total cost was about $300 (bought trailer for $125 which is a steal).  Trailers are a great option as Hobies are ridiculously heavy and roofing them is a total drag.
