: With a 19 ft. kayak on a Honda Fit, I don't think the end ties
: lines would do that much to support the boat other than it would
: still be attached to the car as he drags it down the highway.

End ties do hold a loose boat to the car while you stop which is much safer than having it bouncing around in fast moving traffic. Also - since you can see them - they warn you if the boat begins to drift so you can stop and fix it.
