My wife and I fish out of an Old Town Tripper 18ft @ 80 lbs. Have you considered hood loops instead of your front tie downs? A hood loop is a length of 1 inch webbing with a grommet securing the two ends to form a loop. A fender bolt under the hood secures the loop to the car. Using a ratchet strap you can quickly secure the front of your ride without scratching the hood of your Honda. The selection of which fender bolt is important. You want the angle of the tie down to provide a downward vector. Good luck with your new ride.
