get yourself a long ass 2x12 and some eyebolts.......you'll need some rope and a kayak/canoe

drill the eyebolts into one side (12" side) of the board near the edge.......2 near one end and 2 near the other..........attach the ropes and tie it snugg against the bottom of the canoe. I used an ocean kayak and flipped it over and anchored the 2 ends with the board on top and has worked well for me..........good luck

Raven, how long was your kayak? i have a broken canoe that might work perfect... how did u float it, i try to float it but it flips over cause air gets in it through the holes in it. it would probably just be easier for me to make a normal flat bar floating..

Just flip your canoe over and slide that. That's what we do.

-=AlexXx=-, cant... the people on my canal are a$$holes and wont let me build one in front, the one time i tried they moved it. Then i tried to build one in front of bochners house and it worked but then some kid fell on it and his dad made us get rid of it. i need to make a floating one that would drag behind my boat easily...
