I’m in the process of building my steamer and cannot decide the best length. I’m thinking 6 ft, But then am wondering about the gunwales and what they will need.

I’ve got things dialed in a bit. But before i post a new thread i thought i would throw out this question: For thise who use the bare roof racks. Do you leave them attached to the vehicle when not hauling, and so they leak?

Thanks. Thats an elegant solution.

My wife and i were just discussing that. Shes worried she wont be able to help hoist up the canoe. Abd i was thinking about how eaay it wiuld travel in the wake of the truck. Plus all the bug splat to be avoided using a trailer.

I cant get any answers from the fit guide. It just sends me back to the beginning. But i did find lots of ideas.

I’ve looked online for solutions but cannot find a solid answer on the best rig for my truck. The cargo rack is 4’ between front and rear bars. Think maybe the rails are about 5’. Ive heard there is a clamp-on rack that will fit over the cab but i cannot seem to locate one, or i just don't...

I thought I responded to this already, but I don’t see it. I was referring to Lake George New York. It’s been a wonderful week canoeing around that lake.

Many, many thanks for the tip. It really looks like a two handed job so i’ve been contemplating work arounds for certain aspects of the the job. Though i haven't even begun yet, i’m trying to visualize the restoration and predict any stumbling blocks before i get to em. The one handed clamps...

Oh yeah! I’d wager theres not a bad mile in the route. I’m in Escanaba so we take the inland route up to the Porkies, which is on way to Duluth, though we’ve only ever gone that far once or twice.

Appreciate the tip. Duluth is still about a 4 to 6 hour drive for me but everything is a roadtrip up here.

Thanks. Its an old garage so thats why i asked. i could possibly anchor it corner-to-corner. or. . . perhaps extend my backyard patio and convert it into a canoe shed ;)

i am thinking about setting up the anchor points for a canvas stretcher my in the studs of my roughly 20’ garage. So heres a few questions: *Is this feasible? *How high off the ground do you set the anchors *about how much tension will a taught canvas have snd will 2X4 studs handle it? *where...

I’m hoping the paddling physics in regard to the adaptor will be similar to hiking. I feel like they will be.

Thanks for the info. TRS has provided all my adaptive devices. And so far i haven't encounteres and roadblocks, just a few detours. Here is the device i use for hiking that is actually intended for archery; i think it might also work with paddling TSR Kayaking adaptor

Sounds like how i shovel snow!
