A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted a trailer to haul a motorcycle now and again. First thing I discovered -- they are EXPENSIVE! But, I found a nearby jet-ski dealer with lots of used jet-ski trailers for sale, so I went and looked at them, picked out the roughest-looking, cheapest one, and went to work.
Removed all the rust and flaked paint, repainted with spray Rustoleum, added new tires, new lights, plywood deck, Northern Tool ramp and rail, tie-down points, non-skid tape (still need to add some to the deck), and voila! Single-bike hauler for about $450, maybe 20 hours of labor, plus maybe 40 hours of head-scratching...
