Recently got Green RTS. Very happy so far. Live in upstate NY. In spring ,summer and fall want to put two ten and a half foot long solo canoes a roof with roof rack. I don't think Honda roof rack load bars are long enough.
Need another option. What is out there? Price is not that important but function is. Please advise

Welcome to the ROC LuleWinfield..
Here is a thread (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=394&highlight=canoes)of some members who use the RidgeLine for hauling their canoe. I hope it helps.

This is not a plug, just another option.:) I guess you require a tow hitch for this set up.but you still have the use of your truck bed, although I can see the tail gate might not open, but you can pack all that before loading the canoe. I am sure there will be other suggestions.

LuleWinfield,
Check out my post on my kayak carrying solution:

Bottom line is you can carry your two canoes with at least one rail of Thule 450 shoes and crossbar set or one canoe with your Honda roof rack plus a Thule Goal Post hitch rack or similar.
