I have a Tarpon 160 and a Trailblazer with a set of Thule rollers in the rear and Shark pads in the front mounted to Thule extra long bars due to the added weight of my tricked out boat (75 Lbs?). It works great. I place a rubber bath mat over the back window , place the boat at about a 45 angle to the car axis and lift the bow up and onto the rollers, then grabbing the stern I roll it up and on. I added some Thule ski racks to the opposite aide for my rods so I can rig them all up at home for a quick launch for when the skeeters are biting. I have a bad back so this system works great for me.
