J-Style Kayak Carrier for Transporting Pelican Catch 130 Hydryve and Hobie
Question:
I am looking fo j style racks to transport two fishing kayaks safely. First is a pelican catch 130 hydryve kayak. This kayak is 15” tall and 34” wide. It’s listed at 78 lbs. the second kayak is a Hobie compass. This kayak is 12.5 “ tall and 34” inches wide. It’s listed at 68 lbs. I’m hoping to transport both kayak on a 2013 Hyundai Sonata equipped with Yakima Whispbar S7 roof rack. Let me know if these racks would work or if you have another suggestion.

Expert Reply:
Since your kayaks are on the heavier side you'd need a carrier with a higher weight capacity like the Rhino Rack # S510 which has a 99 lb weight capacity. This would attach to the Whispbar roof rack you have as well.
