You just read my mind. The only cars that you shouldn't put a canoe on the roof most likely wouldn't have a trailer hitch. ie beemer porsche

Try looking for a jet ski trailer with a long tounge or you could cut off the winch part since you don't need that for a canoe.

Good luck

Might just need a couple straps to keep it on this ? ?

if/when you register it, mark it down as a utility trailer it's cheaper.

we were workin in MIAMI...fla
doing a lawyers office....
while on the job.....

we took a piece of ply wood and transfered the roof's curve (shape)
by getting it close then scribing it exactly to fit... giving us a frame
that sat on .... but curved around the edge so the weight gets distributed
to the cars full frame. just like the curved bridges do made from stone.


i tell you this....because we carried unbelievable weight :shocked: on this frame
20 sheets of sheet rock or plywood like nuthin... :uhuh: and it was completely carpeted so it didnt even leave a scratch....no dents period
and it was fairly light weight.

anyone can make a car rack like this.... with a bunch of bungie cords
to anchor it down to the body you can carry anything that way.
