Saved my points all year and wife finally let me cash them in big time.
First part of the transport is the Compass 28 mpg (25 towing)
Than comes the cargo area
than comes the cargo
Now the wole family will be able to join the fun with room for a friend.
Thanks to friends Kirk James and John Delafuente for help with the
welding and painting (notice the matching color).
Just wanted to show it to everyone.

SWEET! Must be nice to be able to leave your seats and some of the other gear on.

THAT IS VERY COOL.  I need a ladder to get my kayak down off of the truck racks - not fun.

I am usually the one getting up early to go fishing and everyone else in my house is asleep - that looks much more managable for one person. I'm putting it on my wish list!

How much of it is "off the shelf" and how much did you customize?? Where did you get it - very nice.

Kim
Love it!

BEAUTIFUL! Truly a top notch job.  :smt007

It's picture-perfect with the pink one on top!
Shows you've really got the whole family involved.

Where did you get the curved kayak supports on the
bottom level or were those included with the trailer?

Most of it was built from scratch and the suports came from Thule
Kirk James in Fresno did most of the welding
and John Delafuente did the paint
Kirk could build a custom trailer for the right price
PM me if you would like to get in touch with him

That's a really nice trailer.

Since I have no welding skills, I got the Sportsrig: http://sportsrig.com/. It was easy to assemble and works great.
