Good afternoon ! First post here for me, and I could use some assistance...
I will be purchasing an older laser tomorrow, and need some advice on getting it home. I've read quite a few threads in regards to car topping and specialized trailer setups, but due to time constraints, those options are probably not viable at this time.
I will be traveling about 300 miles on the highway to purchase the boat, and need to figure out a way to bring it back. The transport vehicle will be an older Volvo 240 wagon, which does not have a roof rack. It does however have a hitch, and I DO have access tons utility trailer like this...
The tailgate is removable, for what it is worth.
Given those options, is there a preferred route you all would take? The roof on the Volvo is extremely stout, and pretty darn long to boot. Is a rack absolutely necessary? Is it possible to use foam on the edges and tie it down that way? Or would you recommend rigging something in the trailer instead? The boat will be used strictly at a lake house, so future transportation is probably not necessary.
Advice would be appreciated! Thanks!-
