Transporting a Kayak

[Liquor Box]

I am trying to work out a cheap way of transporting a Kayak, i think the \"proper\" are quite expensive so was trying to find an alternative.

I drive a VXii Commodore Wagon.

I have found some on ebay that seem ok to me.

These are inflatable ones

What do you think?

They look pretty good. I couldn't find anything like that when I bought my yak. The only inflateable ones I could find were $200. For my yak I spent about $30 and got this set up. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/IMG_0519__Custom_.JPG

It is the foam used for covering a Thule Roof rack ($12 from 4wd place and a couple of pull tight tie downs. Works a treat for me. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/IMG_0520__Custom_.JPG

Then I just use ratchet straps to tie the yak on with. Dodgy, yes, but still totally legal and works fine travelling 110km/hr down the motorway. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/IMG_3048__Custom_.JPG

Nice one Wayne.

Mate also the kiwi roof racks i can get you through Viking are ideal.

Just ask Adventure_Angler and Jordan.
