This video provides one method of car topping a boat. The boat is a 12 foot aluminum smokercraft rowboat with detachable wheels. Load it up, tie it down, and go!
I transported my watertender 9.4 boat like this on top of my van. The wind noise was ear deafening. Because the wind was flowing around the seats of the inside of the boat. I had to turn the boat over and transport it right side up.
Good job! Good to see the bow line, although I would triangulate it for more resistance to wind. Also, if you put your strap buckles on the driver's side you can check them with your hand out the window and at a glance when you pitstop.
did you buy any boat ? I am planning to get West Marine WaterTender 9.4 Rowing Dinghy.I have not place for trailer too and I do not want trailer broke on the road thats why I wanna carry on my roof.
12ft or 10ft boat? How long is the roof of your vehicle?
That's a nice setup

That is not a "car" .
Where did you find the wheel holders at?
They're selling them on Amazon now. Search for "Boat launching wheels"
You think a 12ft Jon boat would fit on top of a 2 door TJ?
looking into getting a jon boat, but i dont want to tow it. i own a saturn sc1 and that car has a really nicely angled rooftop.

What about un-topping the boat when you are back
Reverse the steps....
No knots required? Fuck a trailer, I'm definitely doing this.

How much the boat weigh? What is your max weight for the roof racks? Looks great!!
