I have a new zodiac 310s (a left over 2006). Has anyone transported a similar boat inflated on the roof of their car/truck? Any input/advise would be welcomed.

I used to transport an inflated 9 footer on the roof of our minivan. The van has a roof rack, so all it took was some cam straps. Worked good, but it was a little heavy for one person to manage. Two would have been no problem at all.

If there is a will there is a way. Here is a 10'4" Achilles on top of our Mini Cooper. I now use a Tailer in a Bag that completely disassembles for our Achilles LSI-365.

Thanks for the advise, I noticed you have launching wheels>>>what brand and how are they? have you used them in the sand? Would you recomend?

Thanks
