You need to put the canoe directly on the roof, then you have a much neater package with a lower profile. The wind blowing you around just serves to keep you awake during a long drive! And, with the passenger's and back seat out completely, you can fit 22 cases of beer into a bug. Only trouble is you kinda loose your suspension. Ahhhh, those were the days! I am pretty impressed with the S&S D action though. Terry Farrell Piano Tuning & Service Tampa, Florida mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com
