: I could use some advice on high capacity hauling techniques: With the
: acquisition of our 3rd boat this summer, I have run into a capacity
: problem on top of our Jeep Cherokee. I wonder if any of y'all have tried
: the "J" cradles and what you think of them? I am thinking about
: this configuration: 66" Yamima bars with the 16' 24" beam
: Eddyline on the Hully-rollers in the middle and the Pygmy boats outboard
: on each side on the Hull Raiser J cradles. (an artic tern and coho)

: Yeah, I know I need a trailer but I don't have the money or the storage space
: for it.

: Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Hauling kayaks on their side is stable and practical. I have been doing it this way for years.
