Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Honda CR-V Carrying Multiple Kayaks  

I am seriously looking at buying the Rhino Vortex 2500 Black 2 Bar Roof Rack for my naked roof 2013 Honda CRV. What I want to do is strap two Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro kayaks, bottom down, side by side, and then an Ocean Kayak 11 ft. Venus bottom down on top of the two in the middle, strapping all to the bars, and tying down in the front and back. This is what I did with them on my Nissan Extended Cab truck I used prior to this, and it worked well. The two kayaks are 55 lbs each, and the Venus is 45, and the capacity of the roof is 165 lbs. I like the Rhino Vortex 2500 Black 2 Bar Roof Rack due to the aerodynamics, low sound when driving, and the extension of the poles to better fit the kayaks. They are 26inch wide each, and 14.9 inch long. Do you have any suggestions? This sounds like the best setup for my needs. I currently have special ropes made up with loops tied in them to strap and tighten the kayaks to the bars and to tie front and back, as well as tie the Venus to the two bottom boats.
