Well her's mine when I have it rigged for carrying two toons also notice I use many eye bolts placed so I can use them for tie down, they're all over the place even in the 2x4's that are to uprights for the second deck.[inline "double decker (Small).JPG"]
Here's what mine looks like even with the front shield. I am thinking of putting some wings on the front to haelp deflect some of that mud that still getts through.

I have my spares, I carry 2, with 2 ready bolts going through the frame and long enough to go through the rims wih a piece of plywood acting as a "washer" and then the nuts. I am now thinkin of mounting them on the back side of the front shield, so I can mount a cable crank up front for when I am trying to load on a slope, maybe it will help maybe not.
Here it is loaded for camping and the toon on top

I have been using mine now for 4 years and it has been over very rough roads, that's why the 2 spares. I do have bearing buddies on it, mine I had to special order as the hub size is not a comon size, and I am strongly considering water proof lights, thare are times I would like to just back in to load and unload.
I did put a heavy floor on cause I have used this to carry a snowmobile for ice fishing. If you can I would consider metal uprights for you second toon supports and if you shim the back uprights out 2" from the trailer your bottom toon will slide in. I have never had a problem with the fenders, but maybe my toon isn't as wide as others.
Your idea of the tool box might be in the way of getting your bottom toon slid in far enough forward, I'd be concerned of some road hazard poking a hole in the toon if it hangs over too far. My toon is an 8'er and you can see how it fits.
We usually bungied the paddles right on the toon in their paddle holders. If you have an anchor you will want to secure it otherwise the ropes fray and away they go. I have lost 3 different kinds, don't even take my own advice.
I have a wind up jack that I have been using but will be changing to a car jack that you just lide under and jack it up reathe than crank it up, don't ant to pinck my fingers. I will mount it on the front shield.
One of the fold up star wrenchs really come in handy too.
Have fun I sure enjoy mine![fishin]
