New to all this
Just bought 15/16 foot pelican.
Is it best to use roof rack or can I use the supplied 'footpads' directly onto the roof of the car (a VW golf by the way)

Footpads..... Dunno about that, I wouldn't....

Invest in a decent roof rack, you won't damage your car's paintwork and you'll know the boat won't be going on it's own merry little way....

Fully agree with Red, those foot pads will wreck your car

Does this count? Pakboat 150T in an MX5

Now that's travelin'
