Doesn't this then involve lifting a kayak full of water? I prefer to keep the big hole pointed down do the water runs out as I lift. I've seen someone try to pick up the bow of a swamped, right-side-up kayak, and it wasn't pretty. Also, it's really not necessary to bring the kayak very far across your lap if it has a stern bulkhead.
