Taveling with Canoes and Kayaks with your 5'er

Thanks for all the replies. Some good info.

Cummins, I have my eyes set on a very specific kayak for one of these days and an air pump will not do it any good ;-)

I am slowly working my wife towards the toyhauler route. This will solve all my concerns and leave me with tons of room for fishing gear. Then again I could go with a float tube and fins....
