I carry my long kayak on top of the poptop--hundreds of times, despite the
dire predictions by so many on the list who have never done so. No need for
a rack. With a rack on, I would have to leave my westy out in the driveway
when a hailstorm or other bad weather comes up. I like being able to work
on it in the garage, too.
