Pivoting cartop carrier?
Anybody remember seeing ads years ago for a device that let you fasten
the stern of a small boat to a short mast attached to the car's bumper,
then pick up the bow and rotate it on to the car top?
If anybody remembers such a thing, does anybody still make it? My
girlfriend's trying to find a way to load a 70-pound rowboat (Walker Bay
8) by herself.
