This board amazes me. You guys are all so nice and prompt in replying with great advice. Thank you so much.

I found a store not that far from me that carries the roll on type attachment for racks. I'm going to check it out this weekend.

I may just go the inexpensive route though and try carpet to protect the car. I'm not sure why i didn't think of something that simple - like duh.

Buying a new lightweight canoe really isn't in the cards. I was drooling over a 13' wooden one.... but at $5K it's way over my budget. I just don't like Kayaks, hope nobody gets offended! I sort of grew up with canoes and just prefer them.

Thank you all again!!!!
