Sweetwater,
What kind of rack do you have?
I've got a chevy suburban and want to get a OK 15 and am looking for advice on rack type. It's a loooong way up on the Surburan.
Where did you get your OK 15 ?

I have a Tahoe and mounted the Thule Slide and Go right on the factory rack for my Tarpon 140. Use a bathroom rug with rubber on the bottom to protect the paint when loading and unloading.
Tokk my second paddle this morning and landed first couple of fish in the yak!! So it's christened!

Congrats !
Now that's she's christened, what's next ?
The carpet with the rubber backing sounds like a great idea.
What's the advertised weight of the T14 ?

got the first "tow" this morning, definitely a rush! Can't wait to see what a big girl would do... 
T140 is around 62 lbs. |

The rug is a good idea, I use a wet heavy beach towel over the back of the minivan when I have to load it by myself. |

I use the soft foam pads and straps for the minivan, but when I take my truck, I just put it in back. Thinking of getting a rack type bed extension.
The bed is 6' and the yak's 12', every time I transport it, I can see it falling off.  |
