[QUOTE="L2land, post: 3082718, member: 126164"] I used a similiar setup when I used to do a lot of canoe hunting and fishing in WI. Mine was on a Tacoma and brought it to cab height so it was level going down the road. Two foam blocks on the gunwales for the cab and a ratchet strap over the center. If you are going to carry it a bit or flat water speed is needed then go lightweight. If you’re running rivers where you already have current helping a plastic canoe is far more durable. You can beat the hell out of them on rocks with no remorse. At least the one I used you could. It was a 14’ waterquest and weighed like 90 lbs but was wide, stable, had dry storage and a flip lid center seat. An awesome duck hunting and fishing rig. My buddy would dive off the bow when it was hot. Never tipped it. Hauled plenty of wet tired labs over the sides too. One time my hunting partner took it down a section of river below the hunting shack at flood stage with his dog to meet me at a beaver pond down stream. He got the nose wedged between a downed tree and a rock and swamped it. It bent the nose of the canoe about 20 degrees and it didn’t break. It came back most of the way and had a little curve after that day. Weight was its only drawback. [/QUOTE]
