I have used a Classic 900, with real rain gutters, to haul canoes and kayaks around since 1985. It hold all of the gear and two to three boats. The best part is, the car roof is low enough that I lower the boats onto the roof racks. I can even drive into the garage without removing the boats. The importance of this is I have a lift system in the garage ceiling. Drive the car in, close the garage door, lower the lift, untie the boats from the roof rack, hook it up to the lift, raise the boats above the garage door. I can unload and store the boats in less than 3 minutes. Bob wrote: > On Thu, 16 Jan 2003 18:17:14 -0500, "The Conquistador" > <ConqueringHeronopsamiron.org> wrote: > > >Minivans suck. > > Perhaps.
