I carried a 16.5 on a 280Z using only good nylon straps and foam bocks,
worked great. Make sure you have a tensioning devise fore and aft and you
should have no problems.

I'm about to trade in my pickup truck for a Toyota Corolla. What would
be the best/easist way to transport my 16' canoe? I want to be able to
load it myself. I was thinking about some good quality racks, like
Yakima, and then use some good straps thru the windows so I don't have
to worry about the rack coming off.
Also how hard is it to remove the racks? Should I just leave them on?
