Check out this. Blem sales come randomly. Often times we hear about them the week of. There are plenty of great deals on kayaks that come WITH gear on a weekly basis.

According to the CHP. Your kayak cannot extent more than half the length of the vehicle that you are using. In other words, if your truck is 16 ft. long (not including the bumpers) the yak can extend 8 ft from the end of the bed, not counting the tailgate. I went down to their office and checked when I got my T-13. Also you must have a red light onthe back of the yak at nightr and a red flag during the day. The use of a bed extender does not let you stick out any further. I used to use one but got tired of it dragging on the ground everytime I hit a bump or go over a dip. Now I just attached a pool noodle to the tailgate for protection and tie it to the truck.

Thanks a bunch. I did buy the bed extender. It turns out that I can transport a Kayak just over 15 feet if I want to. My truck is 19 feet long. The Bed is 6.5 feet. The Malibu X-Factor is 14'4". So by my fuzzy math, I would have 7 feet 10 inches over hang but I am allowed 9 feet. So I have 14 inches to spare!

Xfactor - 172 inches
Truck bed - 78 inches

XFactor - Truck = 94 inches overhang = 7 feet 10 inches.
Allowed - 108 inch overhang

I can find a kayak that is 1 foot 2 inches longer......lol
