New low profile antenna

[Makocross]

So, I figured out a new use of all that metal on top of my Vehicross. It fits my Dagger Blackwater II like it was made for it. It has a foam roller on the end so I can pick up one end and place it on the roller, then pick up the other end and push it up on top. There is a bar that hooks into the front receiver hitch and supports part of the weight of the kayak and provides one of the locks for it. It does make it a little hard to check under the hood, but I cut a piece of wood to prop it open when the kayak is on top. Luckily my Vehicross is one that doesn't burn oil. It may look like overkill but I needed a rack that would last for thousands of miles. I tow the Vehicross on a trailer behind my motorhome, so it has to be a lot stronger than just carrying down to the local pond.
Right now, I am in New York and so far so good. The only trouble is it is too cold or windy to use the kayak.

This is how I roll my kayak up on the rack. Since my hernia operation I am limited to 65lbs in lifting. Kayak weighs 80lbs. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Had much the same setup when I rowed a Alden 18, rigged single on heavy water in the Puget Sound. It topped out at 98 pounds. I hauled it around on top a camper shell on a F150.
