Subject:      Strap a raft to the roof?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

So here's the scenario: Mrs Squirrel and I will be doing a bit of gentle rafting on the local river this Sunday. I inherited this big ol' inflatable boat, a North Pak Aquarius 896 9.5' Inflatable Hardbottom boat. Inflated, it's easily too big to fit into the Vanagon.

And it is inflated, presently.

I could deflate it, then re-inflate it at the put-in point, but since the place is only 4 miles away, and slow neighborhood driving to get there, I'm tempted to just figure out some way to strap the thing on the roof.

How could that be done? OR, do I need to be talked down from this idea? -- Rocky J Squirrel 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Westrailia: (Ladybug Trailer company, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) Bend, OR KG6RCR
