Don't own a car....and I'm not fussy about carrying a kayak on the roof of my truck.

Your physique is not conducive to lifting something heavy and awkward
onto the top of an SUV.

You forget that your photo was posted to the internets in front of an
object that facilitated an accurate estimate of your height. Your girth
is obvious to the casual observer. What a stud!

A RAV4 is not an SUV.

It's not a truck either. What is it?

I am not sure that I have seen anything like that but I will look through
my stuff. For 4 people "in a pinch" I say you need at least a 12 foot
skiff, but if I were you I might want a scow instead, more room up front
and it might be easier to build. If you decide to modify an existing
plan, that might be the best way.

Do you want "nesting" as a novelty, or do you need it for transport,
other cause I have a 12 foot skiff that fits in the back of a pickup
truck, and would hold 4 "in a pinch"...

Unless that 12' is super wide, is not a 4 passenger boat. My 14'
lightweight aluminum Valco was a 3 person boat. The 12' was shorter by 2'
in the widest portion. So lots less carrying capacity. Maybe 4 little
people.


But he did not ask for a "4 passenger boat", he specifically said "up to
four in a pinch", and this boat can do that, and slide into the back of
a pickup truck too. But it's not a "nesting" boat...

I am in Australia, was hoping to bung it in a box trailer.
I might in the end go the other way and get a bigger one on a
trailer,but that would mean having three trailers to register each year.

Interesting... I will wait to see if you got my other post with the skiff...

I have a 4'x 8' box type aluminum utility trailer also.
I was thinking of buying a 'sit on' kayak to play with at the beach.
If I do, I'll build a cradle to support the kayak on the utility trailer.
You might be able to design/build something similar.


I do have this which I built to carry long stuff on, 3feet wide 19.5
feet from ball to rear 1 foot high sides, but it is not built to go into
water unless I fiddled a bit, so would have to lift boat on and off
which starts to get heavy over 12 feet if it is not two piece.
Would work for long canoe.

There is a boat called Junebug by Dynamite Payson, but it won't hold
"four in a pinch".. maybe two..

His physique is not conducive to sitting on a "sit on" kayak (or
anything else for that matter)...
