morning folks.
i finally figured out how i'm gonna get on the water after winterization of my Nineteen.
a canoe.
my first question on canoeing is how do i transport it?
this is how i got it set up now. it's not been road tested yet.
will this work? i got some more webbing and could go with a v for tie down to the ft if that would be better.
i guess my main concern is side to side. i don't have much more width of the truck for the sides of the canoe to rest on. i suppose a roof rack would be better, but i don't have one of them either.
anyone got any suggestions as to how to make this better or a way to prevent it sliding off the roof. the canoe is sitting on a kinda sticky rubber mat between the roof of the truck and the canoe. hopefully preventing the canoe from sliding sideways..
the ft. tie down is to a piece of the frame as there's no ft. bumper. the back is secured to a class III hitch.
