Trailer question

Does anybody have pictures of a modified trailer that will carry two boats I have a 16 ft. scull boat and a 16ft. marsh boat, both are light weight 140 lbs and 100 lbs. I would like to stack them vertically. I was thinking of using 11/4 inch pipe screwed into a floor mount bolted to the trailer frame.
 
Here are a couple I use.
1. The small trailer is used to haul a layout boat on top and a Brant II or South Bay Scooter on the bottom. I've often used it for hauling two of our Brant II's around when we're double sculling a lake or river. I have hauled this rig to Maine one year and Michigan to Massachusetts twice and it's held up very well. These pictures were taken while on a hunt to Nantucket Sound in Mass.
2. The large trailer is 6.5' x 16' and I can haul several boats with it. I use if for running to shows or hauling boats for hunting and it works very well.

This is another trailer that we used extensively down in Texas...owned by Fred Bremner. We rigged it for hauling a Brant II sculler on the bottom and a South Bay Scooter on top. The winch allows one person to handle the South Bay Scooter on top without strain. Merely lift it and swing for removal or stowage.
I believe this is a galvanized trailer with uprights welded to the frame with wood cross pieces to match the shape of the hull of the SBS.

Hmmmmmmmm, I think I'm "down" to 9 trailers at the moment and don't know how many boats. I'm happy about the fact I learned early in life......if you have 2 of something...it's a collection and Mom can't throw it out. I'm just hoping that carries over to Wives can't throw it out either. :)
