Have any of you got the front mounted boat rack on your truck. I have a 14' aluminum fishing boat that I would like to take along sometimes and am thinking of putting a boat rack with the auto loader on the front of the boat. What are your thoughts good or bad idea?

Doug,
That is going to be my next project. I have a 16' Wenonah canoe I want to take along. I tried to get it on the top of the Monty but it puts me just over 14'-6" tall.
I'll install a front mount Draw-Tite receiver and use a Thule Goal Post for the front support. I'll have to add a roof mount from Yakima since I already have the Yakima gunnels brackets and cross bars.
There was a thread about this on RV.Net a while back. You might try to search for it. There was a lot of good info discussed there as well as pictures.

Now that I'm home from work, here are the links for the components:
