if u were to accidently leave it in would it be deemed to be cheating as it would reduce the wetted surface area of the boat!!!! |

Or, if you fill it with helium it might float, so you could use the painter to tie it to the car toe loop and hey presto - no need for a tow bar or trailer. |

Remove the bung and insert an industrial vacuum pump up it's bunghole (!) start vacuum and simply roll topper up like a kip-mat. Sorted. |

I once transported a Topper in the back of a Cortina Estate - you couldn't shut the hatch back but it was OK for a short distance. Rick |

I have seen a Laser on top of a MG Midget softop. A Peugeot 800 series thingy, and probably other large estate cars (Volvo 70) is quite big enough to put an Oppie in the back. Would they fit a Topper instead?

Try an extra round trip! Cheaper than getting a tow bar & even if you borrow a trailer you would need to return it. Probably still cheaper than using a courier / shipper Just expensive in your time, but then again you get to see more of the best part of Britain i.e. Scotland |
