Other SOT's are more popular and can more easily be found used. If your not in a hurry that can be a really good way to save some $$$.

If money is tight, don't waste it on a rack for your vehicle. It is unnecessary for a single Yak. Use pool noodles and straps, very secure and under $30. Yeah, sure it's ghetto, but it works.
Time is definitely not of the essence. I'd like to find a nice, used Trident 13'. Keeping my eyes open on craigslist.

Thanks for the noodle suggestion. I'm certainly no opposed to the ghetto option. $30 is much better than $100 - and I have to straps, so it's probably more like $7 for noodles.
