stitch and glue types that there are tons of plans for.

I am not sure that I have seen anything like that but I will look
through my stuff. For 4 people "in a pinch" I say you need at least a 12
foot skiff, but if I were you I might want a scow instead, more room up
front and it might be easier to build. If you decide to modify an
existing plan, that might be the best way.

Do you want "nesting" as a novelty, or do you need it for transport,
other cause I have a 12 foot skiff that fits in the back of a pickup
truck, and would hold 4 "in a pinch"...

I am in Australia, was hoping to bung it in a box trailer.
I might in the end go the other way and get a bigger one on a
trailer,but that would mean having three trailers to register each year.

I have a 4'x 8' box type aluminum utility trailer also.
I was thinking of buying a 'sit on' kayak to play with at the beach.
If I do, I'll build a cradle to support the kayak on the utility trailer.
You might be able to design/build something similar.

I do have this which I built to carry long stuff on, 3feet wide 19.5
feet from ball to rear 1 foot high sides, but it is not built to go into
water unless I fiddled a bit, so would have to lift boat on and off
which starts to get heavy over 12 feet if it is not two piece.
Would work for long canoe.

There is a boat called Junebug by Dynamite Payson, but it won't hold
"four in a pinch".. maybe two..

Just put the kayak on a rack on the car.

" Just put the kayak on a rack on the car "


Don't own a car....and I'm not fussy about carrying a kayak on the roof of my truck.

Your physique is not conducive to lifting something heavy and awkward
onto the top of an SUV.
