Re: [Paddlewise] Rack to carry kayak on top of a pickup truck

I use a Mirage takedown truck rack.  All I use for the saddles is the blue
insulation foam saddles that Mirage sells.  Also bought two sets of their
camlock tie down straps.  Everything works just fine.  I move my Necky
Looksha IV (65 lbs.) on and off the rack without a big problem.  I do wish
my truck was about 10 inches shorter.
