theres a clean unit for sale i can score for 2000. i just barely fit, which means i fit, and yea in a tad junky, but it'll work for weekend kayak trips.
the issue is my dually. its got the flat undermount rieco plates and tripod style jacks. i figure i need about 8" min extension for the dually to fit. does that seem kosher? i doubt the strength of the unit would hold for sitting on the jacks for long periods, but it would just be on and off 3x a year or so.
also, i think i'd have to ditch the tripod base and just use the poles so as to clear the duallys. clearly, for 2000 the money isnt the issue, i just dont want a pain in the ass tragedy of a system.
any opinions out there? hate to pass it up, as it'll be nice for weekend ******** trips, but if its just wishful thinking, then its just wishful thinking.
