Driving around in a coach, I see some amazing things through the windscreen. I was stopped at a red light in Maitland NSW a few days ago, when I saw this.
The method this driver chose to carry his tinnie got my attention.
Interesting if it started to rain.

what is the forcast, maybe ya are expecting rain, heavy rains ... flooding .... and he is simply very prepaired hahahahahah
Interesting concept i must say, i have pondered doing that as it is a pain to take everything out and it also drip all sorts of crud over the roof when flipped up-side down, any sand, scales, mud, bait and so on falls on the roof, with all the light stuff as rods, life jacketes ect they can stay in if it stays upright and that is excellent for repeat use like when you are camping but dont have a trailer ...... sooo given THAT it is a
dam good idea as far as praticially speaking goes..
Cheers
Joe

Joe, there's no room on your roof.

That bloke has a lot more faith in the strength of a Nissan gutterless roof rack than I have!!
Maybe he's relying on the "lift factor" of the wind under the hull, when he's doing 110kmh, to ease the load on the roof rack bars? - and reduce his fuel consumption too?!
Could lead to a whole new meaning for the description, "low flying"?!

Ron, all of that went through my mind as soon as I saw it.
Those following gave him plenty of distance as the tinny rolled onto its side going around the corner.
Carrying a $500 tinny on $100 roof racks, in that fashion, on top of a $50,000 ??? vehicle....hmmmmmm.

Fred - No doubt, he's the same bloke who carries his furniture on the same roof rack - and who gets three able-bodied mates to travel with him - each with an arm out the window, holding the item of furniture on!
If you want to see the results of lots of boat-carrying idiocy - just Google, "boat falls off trailer!".
There's plenty of like-minded people around, with the same attitude to load security! [:-)
Cheers - Ron.
