Building a jet ski hitch hauler

[Twosmoker14]

I am going to be building a hitch hauler for a kawasaki x2 that i want to pick up, and i need to know the space from bar to bar for it to fit nicely in the hitch hauler , any ideas on how wide i should weld my bars apart from eachother

12" center +/_

You only need 1 foot space in between? Thats not very much

Like Kahuna mentioned. 12 inch center on the bunks is standard. All my trailers and hitch hauler are on 12 inch center.

Yup, just started on mine today too but it’s probably way overkill, 24” of 2” solid bar stock with 30” of 2.53”x 1/4 wall hitch stock.

12.5" on center will fit just about ANY ski .. with exception of the Krash 50 that is 11" center

wasting your time, just buy the one from EZ-Ski. I try to always build my own stuff like this but the price is a no-brainer. less time cutting and welding equals more time ripping and shreading!!!

Clean your metal and your welds won’t look so bubbly and leave slag everywhere. Good start fab your self and then you get what you want. Maybe add a swing out that would be cool.

Chris, are you in Havasu? I might want to pick up a hitch hauler down there at WF to save on shipping.

We started in Ca then Havasu and now we are in Colorado Springs CO. Shipping isnt that bad usually 65-75

please tell me the pink one is for @Citizen

 

[Big Kahuna]

Think the pink is more purplish.......................

Think the pink is more purplish.......................

The color is a light plumb I think, maybe fuchsia but with a computer screen its hard to tell. Happens to be my favorite color

so the exact color is a Violet purple and it has a ton of flake in it but you cannot see it in the pictures this is because her ski is exactly the same color. this carrier was built for our first sponsored Rider Kelly Hieke who happens to be the first female to perform a backflip on a jet ski let me see if I can round up a picture of her ski.

Mine is going to be white gloss, should look really sharp

 

[CHRIS@EZ-SKI]

yes yes it will and you will be able to see it clearly when it is under water

Also, turn up that heat, penetration is your friend when welding.
