A great setup is...
1)
Malone BigFoot canoe rack which mounts directly to factory rack crossbars. The Yakima canoe rack and Thule canoe rack cannot mount to factory cross bars. The Malone BigFoot canoe rack is a superb solution for factory racks.
2) Install the
Yakima ShowBoat canoe roller system to your factory bars. This is an excellent apparatus for making it very easy to roll your gheenoe canoe right up onto the Malone BigFoot canoe rack. The Yakima ShowBoat telescopes out over the back of your car when you need to roll the canoe up onto or off of the canoe rack. Then you retract the ShowBoat back into its storage position during transport.
