For our Keowee III rec kayak, I use a 2x10 or 2x12 that is the length of the
boat. Strap Boat to it and then tie boat in as usual. This stabilizes the
boat and keeps it from bending from hanging off the back of the truck.

How are you guys carrying your yaks on pick up trucks? Too long to put in
the bed of the truck, I am thinking of getting one of those "ladder racks"
that people use to carry ladders around. Any suggestions?

Thanks-
