Got a new/used boat..
Researching how to protect roof rack from getting banged up loading/offloading a large (12') tandem Cobra ocean kayak. Planning on putting boat on rack and ratchet-strapping it around the rack running front to back.
Only 3 miles to the ocean. Don't want to get a cumbersome kayak rack setup if I don't need to.
But would be nice to bring boat on longer trips camping etc., so let me know how you've done it?
Anyone else haul kayaks this way?
Any tips, advice?
Thinking maybe I need pads for crossbars... are there brands folks have used that fit well on our 100 rack's crossbars?
Thanks mates!
