Canoe carrier on an Accord?

I'm a newby bitten by the paddling bug.

Does anyone have experience hauling a canoe on a sedan type car?

I'm looking at a 16' canoe, and considering hauling it on a '98 Honda
Accord.

Comments and advice on specific carriers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Al G

Under the bumper. There are some heavy sheet metal loops, 2 in front
and 1 in back, as Mike says. Get down on your knees and stick you head
under and you'll see them. I like to add a quick link to run the rope
through, as the sheetmetal has an edge. Not sharp, exactly, but 90
degree. You'll see.

The boat won't tilt forward if it's tied down securely to the racks.
The bow and stern ropes are for security.
