I'm about to transport my Guilimot on top of my wife's SUV to a lake house about two hrs away by highway. It seems the boat would be held only by friction as there is no hole to pass any strap through. After working on it as I have, I am having nightmares about it flying off the top of my car and shattering into a gazillion pieces on the highway. What is exact best strategy to secure it, especially if no ratcheting straps used?
