Hey guys! I've been trying to figure out a better solution for transporting my surfboards in my 85' Dolphin and started looking into a Yakima roof rack system. I talked with my local RV shop (Ryan's RV which I really like) and my guy there just said it's a bad idea. Basically, his point was that adding more holes in the roof with weight will shift the bolts around and end up causing leaks in the long run. I'm in Seattle so we get a lot of rain and I work hard to keep our Dolphin dry (seems weird saying...). Has anyone had experience with installing and having leaks? Is it just a matter of resealing every year or does it truly expose you to a much great chance of water leaks? Any info would be much appreciated! Added a pic of Kenny the Dolphin and I down at Grayland State Park just because.

Hey Everybody, I am planning on buying a dolpin (budget of around $10,000) but have a question. I am an avid kayaker and want to be able to load my boats on top. I am 67 years old, 5'9" 160 lbs and my wife is 5'4" 120 lbs. The boats weigh less than 50 lbs each. My questions are as follows: 1. What is the weight capacity for dolphin roof? 2. Is there a factory rack? 3. Do people have recommendations on what to install? 4. Will the roof support my weight to when I'm strapping the boat down? Thanks for the help. If people have a lead on a clean, low mileage dolphin, please let me know. thanks Ben

If you have a roof rack on your rig some of the rack companies make retractable awnings that mount to their system. About the same price as other high end retractable awnings. Bag awnings are of course much less expensive. Here is one example from Thule http://youtu.be/AWLpYQ1T0OM
