: Allbright knot, that's it! Thanks Dan.

Now that your curiosity is satisfied, go with toggles at the ends of the boat. You can make nice hardwood handles and not have any loops to get caught in. Also, it is a lot easier on your hands to lift a solid handle. The flexible rope cuts into the edges of your hand no matter how fat the knot is.

The toggles can be secured to your decklines to keep them from bashing around while you paddle.

When you want to tie the boat on top of your car, put loops in the ends of your tiedown ropes and feed the toggles into those loops. It will be a good, strong connection.
