>Rich Frey replies: Thanks for the suggestion. Given the profile of the car
I'll be hauling it with, (old Nission 300 zx) it may be a bit unwieldy, but
I could certainly see it on a minivan or pickup (in the budget for next
year). As to cryptic markings... I like that idea, however my short
car-and-17' kayak combination will probably be strange enough. Thanks

Thanks also to everyone who had suggestions.
