A first for us, we cartopped our kayak to a local creek. Our little RailBlaza C-Tug came in handy to get the kayak fro the car to the launch ramp.

Then they hauled their boat out.
We bought the Outback for its off road capability and All Wheel Drive. And for the nice roof rack system where the racks swivel out of the way and stow on the roof when not in use. The XT turbo model is also rated to pull up to 3500 pounds
Two straps from Malone Auto Racks did the trick, they tightened down secure and did not loosen during the drive. To get the kayak on top we stood the kayak on its stern next to the car, slide the bow up over the side bar, the lifted the stern and rotated the stern over the aft rack. We placed the cockpit down because the top of the kayak is flat, and the seat back slid snug under the forward rack, helping to keep the kayak from sliding forward.
