Here is what I ended up with. Been a few hundred miles with it this way and it seems to work well. I lash it down well trying not to strain the hull much and also use pads to cushion the contact areas.
I was hoping to avoid tying the bow to my front bumper. If it's necessary I'll do it. Another thought I had was to buy a roof rack, at least a one bar rack and mount it forward on my cab to further secure the bow of the boat.
I'm wanting to get ideas on how to transport a Laser on top of pickup truck racks. The racks are located on the forward and aft end of the bed which puts them about 5.5ft apart. So I assume upside down but what do you suggest for lashing it down securely? Any photos available? Thanks!
When I bought my Sunfish I put it hull down, stern first into my 5.5ft pickup bed. The bow was hanging out but I put a red flag on the bow handle and tied down the whole thing very well. I also put
cushions under and around so avoid any chafe damage. No problems at all with my freeway...
