What a beautiful canoe!My latest stripper build, from last year.
Nice color match.
2004 Chevy Van and a 1986 Curtis Northstar
Yesterday, with my grandfather's help (and tools), I made myself a set of long (72") crossbars so that I can carry two canoes on my car. Thanks again @Tsuga8, @Alan Gage, and @Alien Legs for your advice on DIY-ing these! I ended up using 2×4s, and I attached them to my Outback’s roof rails with U-bolts very much like @Tsuga8 does. Here’s a photo from my first road trip with the new two-canoe rig yesterday evening:
The Kevlar canoe behind my Indy is a Wenonah Odyssey that I bought from @yellowcanoe when I visited a friend in Maine this spring—my first tandem canoe of my own! Here’s a photo of it on my car from the day I brought it home:

Glad my advice was helpful and you're now fully outfitted for multi-boat tripping!

That looks a lot like @PaddlingPitt's. I hope it serves him as well as Michael & Kathleen's did.
As shown in my OP of this thread, I've used a full size van conversion as my canoe vehicle since the mid-1980s. In my second one, my 1997 Dodge Ram Van, I removed the two center seats, sleep on the back fold-down couch, and have a lot of room behind the front seats to cook and camp in. No need to set up tents in the rain or get exposed to bugs.
