 I carried my 17' fiberglass boat from Ithaca to the outer banks in North
Carolina
and back on the top of a car with foam pads, webbed straps through the
doors and triangular bow and stern lines.  Once I got it strapped down it was
rock solid.  However,  on the way down in rained most of the way and those
webbed straps soak up water real well.  It comes right down the strap so 
that it drips slowly on your shoulder.
