I carried my 18' Grumman canoe on the roof of my truck using a "T" bar up from the rear bumper and a roof cross bar. It weighs about 100 lbs and that got to be too much for my old bones so I set up a trailer and added the side rails which made a big difference when the wind was blowing at the landing I could pull right up into the cradle and pull it put of the water. With all the gear I was able to keep the motor and battery in the canoe along with a bow weight (75lb lead billet) coolers etcs and it sure made life easier. the canoe is one my dad bought when I was a kid (im 66 now so its seen many miles of water.)
The boat is my 18' Grumman. The decks dont show but its pretty easy to fish from very comfortable. I could use more rod storage!
