New toy's (tools) for the year. How about a new kayak. Just put a down on a hobie and will pick it up, along with the wife's, (no need for a WAF cuz she loves to fish). Still need to rig it though and will start once I get it.

I indulged and bought a kayak trailer so I don't have to hoist my boats to the top of my SUV anymore. Woohoo! Also now I don't have an excuse for not going fishing more often.

That is very cool.How many yaks can you carry on that trailer?

I'm still going to lift my yak onto the truck racks for now, but I'm definitely going to upgrade my cart to moon tires this year.

I got it at SportsRig (sportsrig.com) in Morro Bay. Mine has heavy duty shocks, 66" load bars, and a tongue extension so it will carry long boats (my closed deck is 18.5') and a load up to 750 lbs. I can configure two sets of standard saddles on the bars, but I'll bet it would accommodate three boats on J-racks. They also offer a version with a T-rack so you could haul even more boats or put a car-top box on it for your gear. And, yeah, they cost an arm and a leg, but my bad back was getting to the point of my either buying a trailer or giving up kayaking. I'm telling you, it IS sweet!

I've developed a "frozen shoulder," and there's no telling how long that will last. So any loading method that doesn't require raising my arm above my shoulder is definitely worth looking into.
