transporting a kayak on a trailer?

i do agree that it does look "cooler" with the racks, but in my old age, i would rather have the luxury of just lifting the kayak to my waist rather than above my head to load and unload. some things are worth sacrificing to look cool, but after loading and unloading kayaks that are extra heavy after a long day on water, well you know.

yup, i completely agree. The original post seems like the OP didn't want a rack due to the look; I could be completely off. I have a rack but I opted to transport my yak in the bed and let it hang out 5 foot. Loading a PA on the roof of a lifted truck is a PITA and near dangerous without some type of a rig solo.

No car is too sporty!

you would think that with that kind of money tied up in those cars, they could afford to hire someone to haul their stuff in and meet them wherever they were going.

love that ferrari picture: usually the bikes are more expensive than the cars, except in this case.....
