If you have an 8 ft bed and drop the tailgate (10 ft), you will be ok.

Good call Marty! Most probably wouldn't think about that.

It'll go on top of my Mercury Mountaineer (Basically a Ford Explorer.)

Or in the instances when I'm going down to the Pocomoke River it'll ride strapped to my bass boat.

By the way, the Pocomoke is an EXCELLENT river for kayaking and fishing, so what would be better than kayak fishing on the Pocomoke?

From Shad Landing at P-River State Park you can yak' through Corker's Creek which is kind of like going through a backwater swamp it's so calm. I can get my bass boat through there with no problem though...just a little tricky navigation to avoid trees.

White Perch, Yellow Perch, Largemouth, Crappie, Catfish and Pickerel are all pretty abundant there.
