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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Oct 20 1999 - 11:54:29 PDT
