The batteries are dead in my phaser - can someone loan me theirs? :o) Of course, were I traveling with a phaser, I could transport (or whatever that was called when they wigged out) myself and my boat wherever...of course, the question of high aspect ratio paddles in the absence of gravity would likely keep me near the dock... :o) Seriously, for some reason I got stupid and forgot about the support provided by the bulkheads. I like that concept. Thanks for that comment. Kirk, I agree with racks and my noggin. Luckily, my load bars are about 7'5" off the ground...and even my 6'8" carcass misses them. BUT...that brings up another point...having the bars close to the doors so I have something to stand on when putting straps in place - that would be handy too. Maybe a rack with *3* bars is the way to go.... hmmmmm....
