OK; I've got my sons 14 foot great auk almost finished, my wife's Chuckanut well under way, and my Sea Cruiser coming along nicely. With the hope that eventually one of these days, we'll actually get some weather that might melt the ice off our lakes, I don't have a way to haul these things to the lake yet. I've got a truck with a fiberglass cap. Any ideas for a somewhat econimical way to hual kayaks on this? Just for giggles I priced a Yakima rack with all the "stuff" I'd need for the 3 boats and it came out at $968!!!!!! I just can't see spending more money on the kayak hauling system then the boats themselves. There has to be a cheaper way to do this. I'm not at all opposed to drilling holes through the cap to bold somthing on.
