Was wondering if anyone can tell me a good rack set-up to carry a 16 foot canoe as well as normal gear? Thanks for the help.

 

for a canoe that long you may want to consider just running some sturdy cross bars. What kind of stuff would constitute your regular gear?

 

I have a 14.5 foot kayak that I carry on crossbars. What kind of gear are you talking about?

 

Get the Yakima crossbars, then you can get the canoe rack and a luggae basket for other gear.

only thing is my rack only covers the front half of the Rover. I would have to get an "extension rack" to give the canoe support at the end toward the rear of vehicle. As for the other gear, I guess I would be talking about misc camp gear that I might stow up there, (Storage cases, soft gear bags, etc..)

 

here's my Disco with OEM extentions and yakima cross bars carrying my 8ft fiberglass roof top carrier. Pic from last winter.

That looks good Darover. Thanks! Where is a good source for the OEM extensions?

 

I love that color. Wow.

I have a DII with the epsom green.
