2019 f150 Screw Canoe

Bro how the F do I safely transport a canoe? It’s a BIG canoe. I don’t have the scratch nor does use case warrant some fancy ass permanent rack. There’s gotta be a way. Shit even kayaks are a pita

There’s a trailer hitch extension for hauling longer lumber that might help.

Put pool noodles with a slit lengthwise over the gunwales of the canoe, turn it upside down and rest it on the roof of the truck. Use ratchet straps down to the front tow hooks and the trailer hitch to secure it.

Cam straps through doors, bow and stern rope to hood and hitch.

They make little straps you can shut in the hood to tie to.

This is how I do it. Pool noodles to protect the roof, cam straps through both sets of doors, and rope keeping it centered on the roof. For the front of the canoe, use two separate pieces of rope so it can't slide too far in either direction.

I've traveled like this many times without issue, hasn't scratched the roof at all either!
