I have used it for 10 minute to 15 hour trips and the PA has been stored in place for 10 days while in the Keys.....makes it much easier to load/unload and boat doesn't touch the truck. All loading weight/stress is on marine-style carpeted bunk crossbar and when once in place, the bow sits on a roof style foam block.[/quote]

What is a "roof style foam block" and where do you get them

Apologies, I didn't clarify that very well...the foam block is set in the bed near the rear and that's where the front quarter of the PA is "cradled" and the hold down strap is in the same general area. The downward force of the strap could cause "oil canning" of the hull in hot weather (South Florida), the foam block helps disperse the pressure.*

*Note- I baby my boats because they go back the dealer at the end of the year and are sold......I know others that show their PA's no mercy and the boats hold up great, so how you treat the boat is your call. :D
