Default Re: Sit On Top question

Many seniors still lift the kayak to the top of the vehicle and there are cartop racks which make it easy with rods that pull out to the side (so you can lift one end at a time).

The Hobie Outback Mirage I fish has a capacity of about 400 pounds and with bait tank and all mine is carrying close to 300 pounds - seat only wet if I take wave over the side (or water runs down a rod or paddle). Foot well gets the back of my pants cuff wet. If you wore dive booties you would have little trouble even in cold water.
