thanks
I had it made, cost 400.00
yes I took off the tow hooks and bought two receivers from harbor freight @ 11.00 each. welded a plate on back with same hole pattern.
the whole thing comes apart for removal.
I plan on coming out the receivers about 14" so I can mount the motor on it for travel.
if you only have a canoe, this is overkill. you could get a T setup for front of truck, and then get 1 Yakama kayak setup to put on top of cab.
I don't like the T setup because of movement. you also would need to buy a front hitch. I am sure it is cheaper to put in the receiver setup I have and a lot stronger
