Just got a 2024 outback with basic trim. Like it so far! I as well bought it after reading various threads on hear. (Thank you all for sharing, youre voices and opions are well recieved) Definitely can sleep in back. I chose it over the forester because it is 2" lower, and longer. They say the...

Thanks for all the replies. I was just worried about those retractable bars ripping up, and out. On my last set up I used Thule square bars with gunwale stops. Are any of you using gunwale stops on the retractable bars. I thinking of just wrapping tape around and around to build up a stop. (...

Parts of new england definitely got slammed. Hope every one is OK. There are towns in vt ( Moretown and Waterbury) that have bridges structurely damaged. In new york the asuable river and others have been ripping, causing havoc.

Hello all, just got a 2024 subaru outback. After reading some thread on hear, it seemed like a logical choice, and a lot of people swear by them. My question is, are the stock/factory retractable bars capable of carrying a 15 foot / 30 lbs canoe at highway speed (70 to 80 mph around 18...

Nothing wrong with that advice!

Wow! Just read this twice. Congratulations you are a very talented person. Planning, building, and successful racing. Im in the thinking of planning stage. You and others on this forum relly do some great stuff, and are willing to do great write ups. I know the write ups and trip reports take...

Had a good time, glad to meet you sliding focus. Hope to meet up again.

Iam tring to sign up but can't get Google docs to come up. Any way looking forward to this and the weather seems good.

Any updates? Look like good weather.

Very interesting. I've used a rub on version on cars and it works, IMHO better than wax. Now iam just using a product that clames to be a gel coat sealer. The canoe is no faster, but it doesn't leave a sheen behind it when I get to the water. Thanks for sharing.

Very, very, nice! Please tell us more about the seat, thwarts, and handles. They look great, any weight savings, and are the thwarts and handles oiled or varnished? Good luck with it hope you have good adventures with it.

I use a eureka midori 1. It's a one person aluminum pole tent. 36" w by 88" L and 36" H. I like it, has good vestibules, and has good ventilation. I also am a fan of hammocks, but don't use them often on canoe trips. One of the main reasons is I find them not comfortable for "hanging out"...

I have seen a picture of this happen to a Hornbeck. What a heart break for him, and luck to the cars behind him. I have tulle straps and as mentioned on the other thread, iam gonna look for that tracer cord. I like the idea of two straps on the front. I would be very upset if my boat got tacoed...

Yes it's all to much tech. This could be part of why used car are holding there value? Iam with the less/ no tech crowd on this one for sure.

How often do you all replace the webbing straps? I have a pair that's about 4 years old, and was thinking about doing so. I like the idea of tying to the thwart, one more connection. I was also thinking about pushing the boat back (6" to 12"), any thoughts on that would be appreciated, as of now...

You know you. Like a fire, build it slow, and watch it grow! No new news hear. Reinjury makes it much more complicated, and much longer to recover. Good luck.

Why not! Its all relative! Not great on gas, and mantance is costly,for sure. Probably need a laywer on retainer as well. But cool. Never really thought about high end transport, to the degree of classic vettes, mg's, and jaguars. But if you gotta get on the water, ther might be no better way...

All ready to go, but it will only carry one canoe. She is lifted with a full aero skid plate. And for winter travel it can be outfitted with studded tyres. I know this thread is canoes and cars, but I could not afford to get my canoe up there. Truly insane car!
