The Car A Boat rig works really well and is the simplest of all. Over 40
years ago, I used one on my '57 El Camino to haul a 14 ft. aluminum
boat. Easy as pie for one person.

Anybody remember seeing ads years ago for a device that let you fasten
the stern of a small boat to a short mast attached to the car's
bumper,
then pick up the bow and rotate it on to the car top?

If anybody remembers such a thing, does anybody still make it? My
girlfriend's trying to find a way to load a 70-pound rowboat (Walker
Bay
8) by herself.

And thanks for the recommendation, too.

This idea might be a start...
