If you want to speak about Utility take a look at this photo of me carrying an 18 foot Kayak with swimming pool noodles and ratchet straps
I ended up taking it back off and placed a movers blanket underneath so it would not scratch the roof and then I placed the Kayak back on top of the swimming pool noodles and drove off. This is when I purchased the kayak on craigslist and had a 2 hour drive to bring it back home on the Motorway/
FYI: 3 noodles works better than 2 and get the thick, fat ones not the ones that are a dollar each, get the ones that are 3 dollars each
