Recommendations on How to Safely Carry 12 Foot Jon Boat on Roof of 2013 Hyundai Tucson

Expert Reply:

A great choice would be a Inno Square bar roof rack, which would be made up of the following parts:

54 inch square profile crossbars part # INB137
Inno Feet for Crossbars, part # INSUT
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # INK605

To secure the boat to the roof, using ratchet straps like # IMF14256 hooked over the crossbars would provide a secure hold for the boat. Using foam blocks like # MPG152 would protect the roof rack from the boat and vice versa, as well as adding some friction to keep the boat from sliding around. Due to the length of the boat, you'll also want to use two bow/stern tie downs like part # 01801.

A tire step like part # HE4040 would make accessing roof top cargo much easier, not to mention safer.

As a final alternative, we do offer a small boat trailer as part # CE48810.
