I don't see it at all, done both.

Get the extender, save a LOT of effort.

Yes remember to have lighting on your kayak if its sticking out of the bed of your truck at night... I got a very expensive ticket for transporting my board that way at night with just a red flag and no lights on the end of it.

Thanks, I think I am going to try a bed extender. Will make it easy to slide into the back of my truck. I will put the kids mini x on top. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

There ARE lighter kayaks. Almost anything thermoformed comes in at 40 lbs or so. Look at Hurricane Aquasports and the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 Ultralite for examples. Of course, depending on the exact model there are disadvantages. Few of these are 'big boy' boats, and some are short on storage.
