You sound like a walking advertisement for carrying a folding kayak inside your car. You know the netiquette against such blatant commercialism. :-) ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

Funny, havent needed one yet.. Course, when I do, gonna have to delay paddlin long enough to go buy one ;-) OK, reality check here. How many of you use a pickup to transport yaks? What sysyem do u use. I use a single rack on the cab, and tie it over the tailgate (padded well) to the trailer hitch. Yes, I do occasionaly have to take the yak places, and so far the folding truck racks I have seen are pretty crappy.......
