Question: How are you going to get the boat to the water? Seems more logical to use a proper car roof rack that way you already have boat and can go launch almost anywhere you want.
I have my sit-on-top kayaks on top of my trucks canopy on a Yakima kayak rack. Two straps for each...I have put many, many miles on that set-up without bow/stern straps and no problems to note. A useful hint for loading on top of your SUV, bring along a 3' high a-frame ladder or similar. Makes it a lot easier loading/unloading.
It's a porta-boat. You can take that thing anywhere - at least drag it anywhere :) I think they even come with a little wheel so that draging them are easier.
Was just curious as the places I have taken my kayaks have been 5-20 miles on standard roads from where our TT was parked...I like exploring a lot :). If you are launching close to where you are staying then it doesn't seem to be much an issue for you. :)
