: Being the bright lad that I am, I've just now come to the realization that
: since I don't have waterfront property yet (come on, global warming!) I
: will need some way to get my three kayaks to the water. Closest regular
: put-in will be ~3 km away (not going to portage...)

Go for kayak stackers...you can fit 4 kayaks on 5' bars. 3 kayaks on 4' bars. 5 or 6 kayaks on 6' bars.

: I might want to take
: my boats a few hundred km away on trips, too.

Kayak stackers with bow and stern lines!

: SO... does anyone here transport more than 2 kayaks at at time? Any solutions
: other than a trailer?

Wide bars...or vertical carrying using....Kayak Stackers!

: The other possibly limiting factor is that my two cars are a Geo Metro and a
: Toyota Echo. :) The only vehicle I have with a hitch is my motorcycle. LOL

For a 2 mile trip to the put-in, consider a bicycle trailer for the days you'll be paddling solo.
