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...

We have a 17' Old Town which is darn heavy. It goes on the roof of our F350, yakima rack at the back of the cab and a T/ goal post off the front hitch. My DW and I flip it over, set on end over the side of the bed. Wife get in the truck and lifts to roof height wile I lift the other end over my head and walk it around to set down on the T rack. Secure with straps, done. We also carry 3 or 4 bikes on a pin box mounted bike rack on the 5ver. Canoe tail clears the bikes by about 8-10". It all fits, but now I need to add a kayak to the mix. We sure look interesting going down the road! Did I mention the canoe is bright red?
