And it's inexpensive! I like cheap solutions the most...

Will you use something like those aftermarket foam pads to protect the cab (and keep the bow in place)?

I'll only offer one suggestion: I made the PC "fork" that I lash to the bed extender to keep the kayaks from shifting side-to-side during turns and on curves without having to lash the hulls too tightly. You might want to put something like that at the back of your bed extender. Those hulls can be mighty slippery.

Let us know when you have the new boat.

Yes, I'll be protecting the cab with foam. I'll probably DIY it. I'll probably also be putting foam on the bed extender too just to get some cushion and increase the friction without having to get crazy with the strap tension.

I'll be giving Alaska Raft and Kayak a call just as soon as Payroll Santa visits my bank account with that relocation allowance I asked for....
