Jack Martin mentions using Thule or Yakima racks with pads on them and a kayak stacker in the middle of the bars. I used such a setup for years and it worked real well. The pads were more than enough to protect delicate little ole folding kayaks and the stackers in the middle gave a firm anchor to secure the tied down boats from the sideways pressures created by speeding truck and trailers. Nothing could be more solid. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
