I just added a boat rack to the top of my TC to haul my canoe. The canoe is presently sitting on it. Sure nice to have it out of the garage. It is one of those green Old Towns. Will it hurt anyt...
I hauled 2 kayaks on the roof of my Lance 1191 using kayak saddles on the Yakima rack. Twice. That was enough before I invested in a real kayak trailer - not overly expensive and light years easier to deal with. Rack & Roll Kayak Trailer Infinitely better than climbing up to the roof to secure the yaks.
