Need a roof rack

[Hawkeye6]

Tater:

I have a realtively inexpensive way of carrying my canoe. It consists of four blocks of foam rubber to keep the gunnels off the roof. There are tie-down straps for the bow and stern that hook to your bumper or vehicle frame and a larger strap that wraps over the canoe and runs through the vehicle to hold it on. This lang strap goes through the door openings and the doors close over it with now porblem. I'v eput thousands of miles on with that strap in place. but don;t drive without it.

The same manufacturer makes a kayak carrier pack. If you cna't find it in your local sporting goods store (I've seen it in our local Gander Mountain) try Cabelas or Campmore on-line. I have not looked of it in Cabelas so I don;t know if they carry it, but Campmore probably does.

The cost (I'm guessing based on my canoe carrier) is probalby around $50.
