Hello

I am interested in buying a four canoe capacity trailer that will also hold gear as well. Would like to have 13 inch tires as I will be traveling a long distance to the BWCA.

Build one.
Find a 16' or 18' boat trailer, with plenty of tongue.
Design what you want for a steel layout.
Go to a place that sell steel in bulk, and buy your materials.
Find a high school or vocational school welding shop/class that needs a project.
Bring them the trailer and steel, and let them do the work.
Add your green treated box, and you have a canoe trailer.

I built one and then rented it out enough to cover my cost.

I've seen some that have double vertical posts, between racks, and I think that's a better way to go.

If you get a little bit creative in your design, you can make it a multi-use trailer. The rear bracket, and the steel bar that goes from the front bracket to the rear bracket, are bolted in place, and are removable. I remove those and use the trailer for hunting, hauling a motorcycle, lawnmower, snowblower, furniture,etc. We use it every year for hunting.

A note of caution though. The 16' foot boat trailer that I bought to modify, was very old. It had some sort of Chrysler axle hubs. It made it difficult to find wheel bearings, and they wanted $200 for them. I didn't want to be in a situation where I was in the middle of no where, with a fried wheel bearing, and no one has them. So I bought a new axle and hubs from FleetFarm and now have very common wheel bearings. While I was at it I put in new leaf springs that can handle 3,000 lbs. So if I want to put a heavy motorcycle in there I can.

I love the full size tires. It pulls great, and gives me more clearance on some of those low maintenance roads.

voyageur67, you and Preacher need to get together. He's selling one that sounds like it would fit your needs.

Hello

You are correct. I would have purchased your trailer unfortunately I have already got a guy building one for me right now that is similar to yours.
