Rack suggestions

I agree with the trailer approach. Loading and unloading a kayak from a tall vehicle like that would be a bear. Not to mention the clearance problems you might encounter.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I think a trailer is a better way to go myself.
Sportsmobile confirmed that I could stand on the roof with no problems, I tried that this weekend, its way the heck up there.
I have a Tarpon 160 and a FishNDive I can't imagine pulling those hogs up on the roof, so I guess I'm going trailer shopping.
I found the Sportsmobile in the "recycler" in July, the previous owners took excellent care of it.
Everything is in great condition, has a fridge for beer, a microwave, a sink, and a small tv, it has a loft with a double bed and will sleep a couple more on the sofa areas (kid sized).
It has a ton of storage for a float tube, clothes, and such.

I included a couple pics, Perry I hope thats OK.

Thank you again for the ideas, hope to see you on the water.

Nice to see you around again, and CONGRATS on the wheels. By looking at it, it has the Sierras written all over it. Oh yea, fishing the different loops while taking your home and kayaks with you You didn't get the idea from their site did you,LOL ?? This is the main pic on their home page. Enjoy your new vehicle

PS: Feel free to post whever decent photos you want on the website, fishing or non-fishing. I have a bunch of different photos on it, not all of them fishing related either.

Thanks Perry

I've been looking at Sportmobiles for a few years.
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

I bought it to spend quality time with my daughters (3 and 6 yrs),

at least thats what I'm telling everybody


I think a trip to Crowley in the spring is in the future.

We have a trip planned to Bolsa Chica in a couple weeks, to test things out, and see how they handle it.

Should be fun.
