I just strap a 10 foot Pelican to the roof of my Toyota Corolla. Never had any problems. Sure I could put it on the Yukon XL but that beast drinks a lot more gas.

I had a Chev 2500, long bed. I just loaded the Hobie at an angle with the tail gate down and them secured it all with ratchet straps. No flags and had no trouble carrying the yak. With truck now gone, I'm waffling on a roof rack or trailer. Not sure I want to be picking the yak up and loading it on the roof, getting a loading/unloading device or jumping on a trailer (and all the overhead that entails). I'm seriously looking at a Mokai and have about 60% of the funding available. It's 35 lbs heavier than the hobie, and adds another dimension to the loading/unloading dilemma.

If I'm hauling 3 or more, I use a trailer like Joe's above...with 2x4 braces across the top..two yaks upside down across the padded braces and another one or two on the trailer bed below. Lash them in and go.
For one or two yaks, I throw them on top of the yak rack on the pickup...lash and go. Built and painted mine like Neumie's old 2x4 setup with an additonal brace front to rear for stability. $30 or so, including paint.

These are the ways I've carried, plus I occasionally just toss my Pescador on top of my Rover with pool noodles to cushion it. Did not want to heft that fat Fish n Dive up there but the Pescador goes up easy.   Trailer is also handy for hauling oversized stuff, like my son's treehouse/play-swing thing, and makes a handy platform for banking it.

I put mine in the bed of my truck on top of soft pool noodles front and back and strap it down. It's 12' long. Never had a problem. Don't forget the 15' cable with padlock in case you need to go into a store or restaurant and leave it all by its lonesome.
