Camping season is getting closer and trying to prep accordingly. We have a 17’ Grumman canoe (amazing canoe btw). I mounted with a combination of a Leitner bed rack (no risers) and Thule load bars. It seems very secure with three resting points. Anyone with lots of canoe experience have a comment on if I still need toe downs on the bow? Btw this was just dumb luck that the back load bar on the Leitner Rack was I. The correct spot. My original plan was to move the canoe much further forward to where it was centered on the cab. I am glad I don’t need to do that as it would be a bigger pita to get it loaded/unloaded.
