There is an easy way to load a large yak on a car/truck. With the tailgate of your truck down strap your kayak cart to the tailgate with the wheels facing up. Place the nose of your yak on top of the wheels. To protect the back of the hull put down an old rug under the stern. With the bow on the wheels walk back to the stern while keeping the yak from rolling off. When you get to the stern, lift the tail end of your yak and roll it up onto the roof of your truck or rack on the roof. then all you have to do is flip it so you don't deform the hull. Easy peasy lemon squezzey.
For a sedan put the wheels on the trunk and roll it up. I did this with my old FND and do it with my trident if I am tired.
Hope this helps a few people. Patrick
