have you tried shifting the back rack forward a bit? I find that simply shifting it farther from the stern stem adds about an inch or more lift to the bow...
Actually I hadn’t thought of it @scoutergriz, thanks, I’ll look into that.
me too, I think she was more excited about my latest boat than I was, but then I realized that it was because she always took the newer, lighter, prettier boat and left me with my choice of ugly old beaters
Actually we had just gotten off the lake when i thought of this thread.that pup looks like he's saying "put the da** camera down and get the boat on the water..."
My new found Glamping/base camping style of "canoeing" has caused me to reassess my canoe transport method and spend a lot more money, once again.
In this pic, you can see that my old truck bed racks don't really work with the portable Hilton. I had to move the canoe so far forward that I felt unsafe at highway speeds. So once again, I dove deep into the inter webs, researching roof racks for a 2024 Ford Ranger. The result is shown below:
The set up is by Yakima, seems solid enough, took a bit to set up, but so far so good. This spot is in the middle of nowhere on an old forestry road. There is a very good walleye lake just a kilometre away that we fished the next day. Also, it was the first week the fire ban was off, so that was really nice.

Looks good Mem. It appears you loaded it from the back of the truck. Can you load it from the front so the trailer isn't in the way?

OOF. Those ropes in my line of sight would drive me crazy long before I got close to home.
Good that you got out & better that the lines don't distract you. Is there a trip report in the works? (I didn't get out this year (yet), so I'm tripping vicariously)
Many thousands of miles like that (hell, it's over 2200 RT for this one, and that was my 5th trip).
No trip report--lots of lakes, lots of portages, mostly good weather, some not so good. A good time regardless.
