Nice!

Great prototype, get a patent on that baby, better than the harbor Freight one...just remember to put a red flag on the end of the yak...

lol I went to dicks today looking for one(red flag) and they were sold out so I cut up an old firestone hat and clipped it to my drain plug. I also put some pool noodles on the parts where the kayak touches the rail so it was kind of wedged in there. It was very stable!
Thanks for the comments and Ill tell my boss what you said. He will be stoked.
I think Im going to add another "Y" type that can bolt to the front of the bed so its level and doesnt look so angled.
