Just to peg down the other end of the scale allow me to un-recommend the Chevy
Astro/GMC Safari:





*too tall


*no gutters


*can't position bracketry/bars close enough to the rear to prevent contact
between boat and paint when loading with "Sweet Rolls"


*must drill holes to get "decent" attachment to roof/bar spread


*"decent" attachment to roof allows for significant vertical flex of bars/boat

*won't fit in standard garage with bars attached ...





Need I go on?





Fortunately the vehicle has virtues in other areas.
