Does anyone lash stuff to the top of the RTT? Like surfboards or kayaks/canoes?

that is our dilemma - we often travel with a 17 ft canoe. This is a very light fiberglass boat at 50 lbs, but I'd have use foam blocks on the RTT hardshell case, or fab a dedicated crossbar extension. And I'd have a roof height that I may have to pay attention to on some rural underpasses.

YES I do realize the canoe will have to come off to use the tent. On ExPo there is a guy who built a secondary roofrack to hold his boats above the RTT.

Anyway, thought I'd ask.
