Yeah he wanted 400 and that was a great deal. I called him to see if he would seperate any of it and he said he would rather lower the price on everything since he didnt need the accesories.

Wow! What a deal! It's a great looking canoe who makes it?

Here's a thought. Last year in Moab I went to the Colorado River, (Moab is right on the river), and I was thinking that canoeing would be a fun thing to do next year while in Moab. It's next year, and it stills sounds like fun. The problem is do I want to drive from Dallas to Moab with my canoe. It could be fun.

Peace.

It’s actually a Coleman, 15 footer. I don’t think they make them anymore though.

Well the width of the center of the canoe is larger than my crossbars. I ordered my basket yesterday also and that is wide enough (slightly). I may have to make something to help with support, I think Bart did to his. I got that single person loader that also is used for support in the back but I don’t have a hitch to mount it to. We will see how it goes.

As for bringing it to Moab, I am not sure if I want to cart mine that whole way either, would be cool to cruise down the Colorado.

Dude! That's awesome. We are definitely going to Fordyce Lake now! Once you get your roof rack, you can easily make something like what I made to get it up top.

I would love to canoe in Moab, just like I would love to mountain bike, but there ain't no way I am hauling bikes or my canoe all that way. That said, next month at Mammoth Lakes, I might bring mine...

So I measured the canoe today and it is actually a 16 footer. Put up on the wifes cherokee to see if we could take it somewhere tomorrow and try it out, and it just bearly fits her stock rack. So we may head somewhere.

Yeah, we were thinking something closer like washoe or sparks marina.
