There are a couple of different kayak / canoe trailers out there.  The one on Ebay looks well enough designed and is highly adaptable.  Set up for two canoes or two sea kayaks it runs about $355.  However, shipping to the west coast adds about $60 or so.  You have to specify sea kayaks when you order or he sets them up for river / surf size boats.  You can order a combination of junk on the trailer (gear box, bike mounts, canoe and kayak racks, etc.) if you like.

I looked at their literature and exchanged a few emails before concluding that I simply don't have a place to put the thing if I buy it.  I'm selling my 10 year old minivan and I don't want to scratch up my new truck the way I abused the old van -- a trailer may be the solution.
