With so much lock down the last few months, what has been your fishing project.  Mine has been a multi-kayak trailer build.  That way I can bring enough for the kids and grand kids.

Wow.  Nice trailer build.

Here are my Covid projects so far:

I redid one of the upstairs bathrooms.  New flooring, toilet, and vanity.

I did the same flooring in the downstairs bathroom and mudroom.

I tore down an old pergola in the back yard and put up a nice metal gazebo, and repurposed some of the old wood from the pergola into a kayak rack

Love the kayak rack. do you have some specs or did you just wing it. I have two hobies in a bard side by side and this would provide a ton of extra room

I took an old slab of maple and made it into this, a bench for my barbeque. Indirectly a fishing project if I can catch something to cook on it.

YakHunter that is one impressive fleet and a slick trailer.

Thanks for the plans.  Storage is always an issue.

Very nice.  I hate taping sheetrock but love the results.  I have tile awaiting my bathroom remodel.

I spotted these catamaran slings in Monterey California last August.  I made a set to hold my kayaks at a decent working level when tinkering.  Good for storage too.

That kid does some good work! What’s his hourly rate?

I built a rack for my utility trailer so i can take the two PA 14s on top, and my two older Cobra boats below, and fit all the seats, mirage drives, life vests, etc., in the locking toolbox.  It also doubles as a drywall/plywood/insulation panel transport device...  ;D

Nice.  How did you secure the racks to the trailer?  I figure you set it up to quickly remove them somehow.
