http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...k/P1310001.jpganyone tried this or known anyone w/ this.. http://maloneautoracks.com/inflatable.html i thought this might be a better way to tansport my yak than the foam..i drive a honda prelude. i dont want to spend to much on a rack cause im gonna get a truck or suv soon..

Those inflatable tubes are fairly wide and you don't have much roof to work with. most of the support would be provided by just two of the tubes. I would also be concerned about the keel compressing the tubes when shock loaded (ie: hitting bumps). An air bladder is going to momentarily compress under load and most of the compression will be right under the keel. A foam block will not compress as much. Can you carry the yak upside down?

I've got a set of hard racks in the garage from my 2003 Honda Accord coupe that I sold a while back. I imagine they'll fit your car...if your'e interested we can check to make sure they fit thru their website. I'll let them go for $150 - they're Yakimas if I remember correctly and are in good shape. I'm in SD.
