sorry to hear about your loss of the truck that happens to many out of work general motors engineers!

Looks like it could use an extra support between the post under the seat and the support under the front hatch.

Point taken. The new design is reinforced in these areas and I think I'm gonna use the kayak itself as the main frame. There was too much swaying when I slowed down and caused the pvc glue to break at the joints. I'll be fishin in no time. too bad it's not ready today

A couple of 1/4 self tapping screws in the joints with the glue would seal the deal! Awesom idea! double thumbs up!

Doesn't the trailer need a pivet point so that when the bicycle
leans into a turn the trailer can remain level with the ground.

By the way. Sway will usually occur if there is to much weight behind
the tires. If possible move the yak up the trailer or add some weight
in the front of the yak. If the weight is behind the tires it becomes the
greater force and will try to steer its self from the back.

Could beef up the pvc by using 1/2" inside 3/4". Adds to teh strengthe substantially.

Great innovation!
