Sorry it took so long to get pics but ive been dealing with lots of stuff but if you need better one let me know these are just cell pics.


This is the whole thing it is adjustable for different hights. It is actually really easy to make. I ask my dad and he said he got for 25.00 at this bargin warehouse.

This is how it mounts you could just use a big bolt but we use a 2in ball on ours its easier to get a drop hitch and just put it in the reciver that way you dont have to unbolt it but thats what works best for us since we dont tow a trailer at the same time

This top part swivels so if you are by yourself you can put one end of the canoe on it and pick up the other end and just swing it around and put it on your roof.
