Do you use a winch to get the kayak on top of the camper?

its only 63 pounds. I hook a 8mm nylon cord to the bow handle with a knot tied in every foot and yard it right on up then lash it down on to the Thule racks
never met a Dry Fly I didn't like

This is how I roll.  Don't have the best roof setup but it works for what I need to do and gets there just fine.  Sure wish I had that Lance though.
More rods than I know what to do with and not enough time to use them

Any advice on getting a new vehicle? I want to make sure it can accommodate two Outbacks. Friend just destroyed my car and is hiding from me. Stuck without transportation at the moment and missing work so time is a factor. Can't decide weather to get a small economical car that fits the yaks, or an SUV that will carry a lot of stuff but sucks on gas.

I was just about to buy a shuttle bus and convert it into a dive vehicle/camper, but it looks like that will have to wait now.

This looks well kept to me but 180k miles is a bit sketchy. Thoughts?

I'm going through a similar process.  I have a big 10cyl F250 (11 mpg) that I use right now to get the kayak around - obviously limited to local travel.  Need something that gets better mileage, can fit the family, yak, and gear for trips.  I'm thinking maybe a Subaru Outback or Forrester.

I was looking at that too but my initial reaction was I can't have an outback carrying and outback haha.

Before he ruined my car I thought I had it made. Harley for commute on nice days, economical car for bad day commutes, and soon a bus for long road trips to dive/fish. I can't decide weather to get a cheap commute car and bus or a decent SUV that may last a while and forget the bus.

I'm not a car person. If that Infiniti has no obvious problems is 180k miles ok or a bad idea?

No. I didn't even know what an Infiniti was before today lol.  It was just the best deal and seemingly best suited thing I found.
