For $40. (I've never used this particular carrier, but it looks reasonably well made, especially for the price)
Then get some waterproof totes and strap them in when you go. That's well within your $500 budget and keeps your luggage in your wake as well as down low so it's easier to get into it. It does make the rear hatch harder to use though... |
Harbor Freight has a very nice aluminum cargo carrier for $99 that has rails all around.
