Canoe and 5th wheel

I just purchased a Sea Eagle 370 to take with us. It is a kayak, but Sea Eagle makes several different models. The 370 will hold 625 lbs and is rated for Class 3 rapids. It weighs 26 pounds and is in a carry bag with foot pump as well as the oars.

We haven't used it yet, since it's been below freezing for a week, but we will as soon as it climbs above 50 degrees.

They carry several different types from fishing boats, canoes, paddle boards, etc.

Best setup I ever saw was putting the canoes on a rack on top of the truck extending out over the hood.

Doing it this this way keeps you out of trouble pulling a trailer behind your fifth wheel and fighting with the local state laws you may encounter.

Looking into options for a fishing vessel along with the 5er. Where can I get one of those racks for the front bumper of my truck so that the canoe can sit over the cab and forward over the hood? Is this a good idea? Any experience, knowledge, advice or comments appreciated.

Check out saturn inflatable boats. Light and easy to carry.
