Anyone have a Porta-Bote? If so, how do you transport it?

The front rack has a slide out rod that is designed for loading a canoe on top of the carrier.

He even posted a picture of it.

I have a 14’ Hobie Odyssey that weighs 82 pounds. I use two straps to secure to the cross bars, then use 2 cords to secure the front and back of the kayak as well. I’ll link a YouTube video below with exactly what I do. With this method, I’ve never had any issues transporting it even at highway speeds of 70+mph. The boat is too heavy for me to lift up myself, so I also have the extension that sjtill referenced above and it works great for easy 1 person loading.
