Storage and Transport
The best way to transport your boat is to purchase a trailer from your dealer.
Using proper cradles that support the hull, the boat can be transported right
side up. Straps can be passed over the deck and under the H-Rails and tied
to the load bars. Straps should be tight, but not so tight that they distort the
shape of the boat. Avoid using ratchet straps to prevent overtightening.

Be sure to first consult your car and roof rack owner’s manual
to ensure that you comply with all of their recommendations,
precautions and specifications.
Running a line or strap from the bow and stern of the boat to each bumper
is required. If your bumpers do not have a gap to pass a rope around, look
underneath. There should be a loop of metal, which is used by car transports
such as tow trucks.
Many people like to use the scupper holes to tie the boat to the car. This
helps prevent the boat from sliding back and forth or the tie-down rope from
slipping off the boat. (This is an acceptable method for tying the boat down for
transport.)
