Default quick car rack question...... HandiRack

I have been using this on a couple of small cars for boats up to 17 feet. I
haven't tried it with our 22 foot tandem.


It is quick, fool proof, INEXPENSIVE, but not cheap.


I strongly advise using bow and stern tie-downs, though (belt and
suspenders) because it isn't as solid or permanent as a bolt on.


Both of these sites have very good info.

I have a handirack set and they work just fine... it's not just advise though,
you MUST use bow and stern tiedowns...

Also, if it's raining, expect to get wet inside the car...
