Hi, we have 3 kayaks one tandem and two singles. The tandem is 13 ft, the singles are 10 ft. I have a Honda Pilot with factory roof rack. Which rack would you recommend to hold all three? Thanks!

The Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier part # RRS520 is what I recommend and one of the very few options which will allow you to carry three kayaks on top of a Honda Pilot with factory roof rack. That said, you'd need some additional tie-downs as well, the Rhino-Rack Cam-Buckle Cinch Strap and Anchor Kit part # RRRBAS-RTD55P-RTD45P. There isn't a max length for the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier so two ten foot and one thirteen foot kayaks won't be a problem.

Since the Thule The Stacker #TH830 does not carry any weight (the crossbars of the roof rack do) this carrier does not have a weight limit. The only limit this carrier has is based on the length of the kayaks. As long as the boats are 10 feet or less…
