It does come in handy though as it's easy to tilt the kayak up and once secured to the cradle it's a no worry way to transport the kayak.

I'm building an even bigger kayak for open ocean fishing, when it's done I think I may motorize that cradle so it will go up and down at a push of a button.

Call me lazy but I'd rather put my energy into paddling then fighting to get the yak on top of the truck at the end of a long day
