Pro Angler on Car Top - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I roll my Outback top down on my Golf with just the cross bars. NO damage other than some black stains on the kayak and have had no issue even driving in high winds up to 85 MPH. I can barely feel that it's there. I can't see how a PA would be much different.

The scion xb has a huge/flat roof and it's low to the ground. Seems pretty ideal for car topping a yak. My buddy has one and it's easy load unload solo. I say because the car is boxy it's easier than the accord.

I was part of that discussion. I've seen plenty of PA's on top of cars, and Im sure it's not easy getting it up there. I transport my Revo on my car. The only issue I can tell you is the salt water get to your paint after a while. My car is a beater anyway. The revo is worth more than the car, so no big deal.
