Just a little bit more savings and I will finally be able to buy my fishing kayak! Ascend FS12T from Bass Pro by the way. Now. How do I get it home? I drive a Jeep Patriot. So should I get the J-carriers or foam blocks? Pros and cons? Another option even?

If you do not have a roof rack the blocks are your best bet. I have not used the J rack. You need a way to hook the straps on the door opening to go across the boat and a line from the front to the front of the jeep and the same in the back. My Jeep GC has a roof rack that i cover with the foam pool snakes and the boat rides fine there.. You might check with a Jeep dealer and see what they offer.
As in other posts i load mine upside down. Once, right side up,it rained a lot and the boat was half full of water. Very hard to get it down without dropping it.

I have used the foam blocks for my canoe and it worked in a pinch when I didn't have a roof rack, but now that I have one I will never go back. The problem I have with the blocks was mounting the canoe they tended to slip and fall off, and they will not slide when adjusting. My advice, get a rack, much easier.
