Has anybody out there in Fiberglass land mounted a Kayak rack on top of a fiberglass trailer?
Here is an interesting rack on a fiberglass roof:

Saw one trailer that the owner had cut an access door into the rear of his trailer under his back window. This was so that he could load his surfboard INSIDE the trailer. He covered the hatch with a swing out gear box over the back bumper. Sorry I didn't get a picture of it.
If you do it, someone will copy it.

Hi - This is more for anyone else that looks at this thread in the future . . . consider a folding kayak! We have two Folbot's, and they are composed of a snap-together aluminum frame and a rubber/nylon skin. They fold down into two duffel bags apiece, they're easy to carry, and they fit into our Honda Element in many configurations. We use ours in the ocean regularly -- they're very stable. If you want sleek, there are some european companies that make them sleek too, but at much greater cost. Just a thought!

The Folbot looks like an excellent kayak. How long does it take to put it together?

There are a number of similar designs on the market; I believe FolBoat was the first.

When someone wants to carry a boat, this thread always comes to mind.
Porta-bote, and I love the name for this folding boat - Origami
