: Yes.. a suitcase handle.. Thats a good way to explain it.

: I suppose your idea of plopping a wood block into the end of the kayak would
: work ... I was curious if there was any easier way to mount that style of
: handle without having to add a block of wood or endpour? Maybe like a
: drill fill drill..? But then I would have sharp screw ends protruding thru
: the inside deck and I am not sure that would be enough support..?

: Thanks for all of your comments!

I think cutting a little triangle of wood that could be plopped into position would be an easy thing to do. ,Measure, cut,Hang the kayak in the garage upside down, glue, drill.
