ABSTRACT:
An improved car top carrier designed particularly for carrying boats and which allows a single person to both load and unload the boat unassisted while providing secure transportation for the boat. It comprises basically a three point support system including a generally triangular support at the front of the vehicle, for example mounted on the front bumper with an apex at the top, which constitutes a pivot point for both the loading and unloading of the boat. The second two points of support are provided by a cross bar support secured to the top of the vehicle whereby opposite gunwales of the boat are supported and may be secured to the cross bar support. In one embodiment, the cross bar support is a box for carrying long objects such as fishing rods.
