Default Getting the boat on your cartop (was Hey... is this thing ON?)

Per Robert Scott:
I like the winch and roller idea, but with the trailer still attachedto
them. :-) I'm looking into the trailering option for the future. I have
a particular liking for this one that I could use as a canoe and kayak
hauler AND a utility trailer:

Trailers continue to call out to me. I've even got a small
collection of photos that I take every time I see an interesting
trailer.

But, as a windsurfer for 20+ years, I keep seeing people migrate
from a trailer (sometimes a quite elegant trailer...) to a
vehicle that can carry everything by itself.

Turnpike fees have tb one factor: around here a 200-lb trailer
pays the same as a fully-loaded 18-wheeler on the Atlantic City
Expressway.

Parking might be another.

But a trailer is calling out again to me since I've started
looking for a replacement for my Suburban (roof rusting
through..) and Toyota's FJ Cruiser is on my short list.
