While we have an option for you, according to my research an Old Town Sportsman 120 kayak weighs over 80 lbs, which is too heavy for the 75 lb capacity of the Curt J-Style Kayak Carrier # C18320. So what I highly recommend is a different carrier:

- etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878

This carrier will be able to easily hold your Sportsman 120 kayak, which is a pretty standard 33-1/2 inches wide, so there will be no issue with its depth, and the etrailer Kayak Carrier # e98878 also has a weight capacity of 150 lbs, so it is more than sturdy enough for your heavier kayak.

Also, this carrier comes with all of the tie-downs you need to mount your kayak and secure it, including all of the needed tie-downs and even tie-down anchors so you won't have to purchase anything else. The # e98878 is also easily the best value for a kayak carrier as it provides everything you need at a high quality and really good price point, so it's absolutely the top option for you.
