    For my canoe, I have used an item which mounts to the hitch on my pickup
truck. It's called a Fulton Canoe Caddy, and is essentially a t-bar which
swivels. In use, one end of the boat is placed on the t-bar, and tied down.
Then, the other end of the boat is lifted and placed on the roof of the
truck, SUV or the like. I haven't tried this yet with my new Impex
Assateague, but expect will work as well that way. Of course, it requires a
hitch. I found this item at Cabela's. I guess it's similar to a Thule item,
which I think does not swivel. I recall an $80 price tag.
