How do you get a a canoe on your truck?
I already have a cartop carrier that will fit on my Toyota Tundra, but I can't see a practcal way to get a 17 foot 75 pound Grumman Standard canoe up there, I'm only 5' 10" and my wife is even shorter...

Set one end of canoe on tailgate of truck. Get in bed of truck, wife stays on ground handling other end of canoe. You pick up end of canoe on tailgate and put on top of carrier, wife follows until she gets to truck. You then go to back of truck and maneuver canoe to the proper position on carrier. You won't be able to just lift it to where you want it to end up, you will need to slide it to get it where you want it.
To get our kayaks on pickup rack, I pick the kayak up near the middle and my wife holds the other end down to make my end go higher (I act a fulcum for lever).
