Anyone Use these on a canoe? I have a heavy 17' Oldtown canoe.

I don't know if it can be used. You will have to measure the width of the canoe to the opening of the rack. The rack comes with bolts. I don't know where you are going to bolt the canoe to. My kayaks are bolted outside on the side of my house attached to stucco. Depending on the weight of the canoe, they should hold.

I have a 52 lbs kayak on it. Several people have recommended switching the mounting bolts to heavier duty ones. The brackets seem sturdy enough, it will depend on what you will attach it to.

Hi Marichan - I've used this bed extender a lot, but exclusively for my canoe. I use it on a 2004 Toyota Tacoma - which has a very short bed and I have a long canoe a - this extender works great. I imagine you could use it for two kayaks - weight would be no problem - just positioning them securely on the back post would take some type of modification.

I honestly don't know. I use them on a Hoyt compound bow @ 70 lbs shooting Carbon Express Maxima Hunters

Don't think this particular canoe loader was designed for that much weight. My kayak is 85 lbs, and the bungee cord that holds it on probably is at it's limit. The problem isn't normal driving. Its emergency turns, panic stops stops. I put a ratchet strap at mid point in my pick up and another one on the roof rack.

I believe the cuddy is too heavy. My boat weighs about 2200 lbs (boat, motor, fuel) and doesn't slide off real easy. It goes on great. I even used two sets.

I don't have them with me, but these are much longer than rivets you can find at Home Depot or Lowes. Both my brother and I have used them on plastic sit-on-top kayaks without any problems. There a many videos on u-tube showing how to use them.

Yes I have I use them on my Kodiak with my bow(s) Absolutely the best grip out there for a bow imo! You will have to move your bow around on the grips to find the sweet spot. Play around with your mounting options with your bow in them BEFORE you mount them. If you have several bows you will hunt with fit them all to determine the grips mounting distance apart on your rack or whatever your going to mount them to. I have found with mine if I squeeze them down supertight for rough trails/four wheeling etc. they don`t pop open as easily as the old style when I want to take my bow out (I have a set of the old style mounts also mounted on my quad for hoodies, bird arrows, huntin hat, sunglasses, random anything you want to secure quickly and have instant access to) I have to squeeze the new style as I push the release but once squeezed tight these things do not let go! The old style pops right open with a push of the release button no matter how tightly they`re closed -but- the old style also has bases that snap off if you look at them wrong :( The new bases on this new style grip have been pretty much unbreakable so far. The thing I LOVE about this grip for the bow is you can squeeze it snug to your bow when just cruising and INSTANTLY grab your bow without having to flip off a rubber band or push the release or anything...buck crosses trail..set brake...grab bow nock arrow done deal! Came in handy several times so far. Get `em You won`t regret it.

I used them on the drift trikes i build. I weigh 220 and have no issues with them. Very light weight design but have no issues

Air gauge won't work on these due to the twist valve. I just go by feel . You'll need to adjust depending on water temp and heat of sun. Its no problem though. I love my boat.very stable...quick set to set up and break down.. its awesone for floating the river. Although its not recommended in the instruction manual. I only recommend securing the seat because if it slides back while on the water its almost impossible to fix. And a non level boat is difficult to row. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Not sure but it halls my 18'mohawk fiberglass canoe just fine. A little shaky but rachet straps take care of that. I do recomend this product for that.

We have two kayaks. One is a Wilderness Pungo 120, and the other is a Wilderness Tsunami 125. Both boats fit fine on these hooks, and they weigh approx. 50 pounds, with no problem. You can get them on the hooks easily, and I consider them a great buy.

Probably not. Mine is on a 16 foot, square stern, Old Town Canoe and I'm not overpowered and actually wish I had a bit more. Considering weight, surface area and potential wind, I think you'll be OK with the 45.

We have a Port-a-boat, so I can't answer this for you. But they work great on our boat... :)

Legally no, but my kayak and your canoe are both "too long". Keep any loads that you put in the canoe up front and within the length of the bed. Excess weight in the aft section might tend to pull the canoe out of the bed in an emergency stop or swerving. Just like loading a trailer. Too much weight in the aft might also create excess load on the extension it's self. Keep the weight in the truck and have fun.

I bought them for a kayak saddle. They worked, but I had to go out and buy longer, rust resistant carriage bolts. As long as you have round cross bars, you should be able to adapt.

It really depends on the height of the cross bars from the roof. It was very tight on my 4runner and I had to bend the brackets up so I could get the wing nuts tightened. The other thing you must consider is how wide your canoe is, measure it and make sure you have room for the brackets to hold the width of the canoe On the brackets. It is sturdy and does a good job, carried mine to Florida from Ohio no problem.

These brackets are very sturdy. I would say that yes, it would be more than fine for your 120# canoe.
