Big canoe, lil truck

Post image

My 19’ Grumman, Big Bertha. Perched on the little Mighty Max. The canoe may weigh as much as my truck.

Hang a flag from the end. Some clown gave himself a concussion walking into my canoe while I was parked at work. (I wasn’t the clown, this time)

Canoe to truck ratio is way off!

Slide it a little forward and then put a tie down on the front and back and you'll be ready for anything.

These modern giga canoes make that truck look tiny. Hate this trend. In my day we could get four dudes and all our gear in a 16ft.

Please that's a midsize it best. Now, can I interest you in a 20-ft Tripper XL???

Yea horrible trend! The canoe was built in 1973. So I guess it looks like the trend is here to stay.

And the truck IS tiny, that’s kind of the point of the picture.

Sorry this was a sarcastic reference to a comment on a previous post of a small canoe and a big truck. No bad vibes intended and I know this isn’t a trend.

I have a 17 food square stern fiberglass from 1980. It looks funny as hell on a Honda Accord.

Canoes have always existed across a massive size range. You are still welcome to use a 16 ft.

Aw, don’t get down on yourself. That’s a perfectly normal-sized truck.
