Subject:      [WESTY] Canoe on poptop - too much weight?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


I'd like to ask the Westy members of the group if any of them strap their
canoe(s) directly on the poptop.  We've currently got a 17' Mad River
Royalex canoe but the hull has a moderate rocker (curve).  Thus, we can't
directly put in on the roof with foam blocks.


We're contemplating purchasing a new canoe with a straight hull - an Old
towne Discovery Sport 13'.  I'd like to toss it up on top using foam blocks
instead of messing with the racks.  Is the 80 pound weight too much for the
poptop?


Thanks for any advice/comments.
