  • Car top? I see it has fishing rod holders.

  • Yup, car top, like this.

    It's a "hybrid" meaning a cross between a canoe and a sit-on-top kayak.

  • How about a nice little float down the Huron River, starting at the Homer Page Farm.

  • I can get my hands on a traditional big aluminum Grumman canoe, but don't have a way to transport it.

  • My car top carrier is adjustable (though a bit of a pain) and could carry a canoe. It's also removable (a bigger pain) and can be attached to any car with a similar top rail.

    The complete Yakima carrier that I have wasn't cheap. Close to $400 out the door. Solutions exist that are cheap (couple of glorified foam pads and straps) but you're looking at a real wrestling match when loading/unloading your craft, especially if it's more than 20-30 lbs. (mine is 60).
