[QUOTE="overboard, post: 367608, member: 6547"] I don't have a pic.of it because it's long gone. An old timer I fished with carried the boat on the top of his vehicle. Best I can explain: There was a channel centered on something like a roof rack. It bent down slightly at the rear of the vehicle. He had a small wheel mounted on the top of the bow of the boat. When we went to load the boat, we would flip the boat over, lift the bow up, and place the wheel into the channel. (that's why it needed to curve down slightly) Then we would grab the rear handles, push the boat up on top, and secure it. I don't think this was a homemade setup, but it could have been. Needless to say, that boat wasn't that heavy and everything had to be removed from the boat. May give you an idea. [/QUOTE]
