Actually, the height is about 8'.  Thats a long way
up.  :(   I could mount a kayak rack on top, but With
this height the challenge is getting the kayak up to
the rack.

Matt Broze posted a message about how he does it on an
RV.  I'd have to do something similar.... though his
process does sound a little bit precarious.

I wonder how hard it would be to modify a Hulivator
style rack to do a larger drop.... *ponders*

Any more thoughts?
Derek
