Thanks. I did RTOM and it confirmed the 5k lb rating.  I was just thrown a little by the guy I talked to's certainty that it was a bad idea.   
 
And I agree completely about safety over longevity.  I took those comments with a grain of salt.   That said, I'm really excited about picking up this boat, but messing up our family car wouldn't be good.   
 
Anyway - if the boat is solid and I buy it,  I'll post pics after safely bringing it home.   
 
Thanks
