I was wondering about the "Watercraft >carrier" by Rola Roof Racks -- http://www.rola.com.au > The Feathercraft K1 can be very easily and securely carried upside down directly on padded cross bars. You will notice that the K1 deck is two flat planes. I have padded my Yakima bars with insulating foam and tie my K1 down resting on one of the deck's planes. It works very well with the racks mounted 6 or 7 feet apart on my truck. You may find this difficult on smaller vehicles. I don't know how well this will work on a narrower spread, possibly just as well; as the deck planes are wider immediately fore and aft of the cockpit. I have the Yakima saddles up there too for my other boat. They are too much trouble to adjust frequently but work fine if you don't plan on changing boats often. For awhile I carried the K1 in the saddles but didn't like the way they crimped the sp****ns.
