-struggle to load myself (scratched the side of the car when I lost my balance).
- Ask random people at LJ for a hand.
-Pay a homeless guy in my alley a few bucks for help.

I know there are tools you can buy like a hullivator or rollers. Any suggestions? The hullivator seemed expensive until I compared it to a back injury or repairing scratches in my paint. Does anyone have a good one man system for loading without damaging the rudder, car, etc that doesn't run you $600?

To make matters more complicated, my driveway is on a pretty steep slope.

Thanks guys,

Pat
I guess we should have probably asked.... do you currently have racks on your vehicle? How are you transporting it on your roof at the moment?
