Dave,

What kind of rack are you useing to haul your canoe? I have tried a couple of home made ideals and have used the sponge supports. Ever considered hauling it on the tear? I think the rack would detract from your tear anyway.

Just curious.

Greg,

I have a Thule rack which will carry the 15ft canoe and 2 bikes.

I would never put a rack on the tear. Weight issues, rack mount issues, can't open the galley issues. Same for bikes.

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I'll ckeck Thule's web site. I really need to solve that problem. Now I gotta get started on a tear. Tent camping at 35 degrees kinda ruins canoeing for my wife.

Just becuse I came across it today, here is:

And I think that's an Austin A30, all of 803cc and 30hp, though it might be that hot-rod, the A35, with 948cc and 34hp.

The source is:
