Question:
If you looking for a kayak carrier that will work with factory, Aero, round, or square crossbar roof racks, then I recommend the Thule Stacker # TH830. The Stacker carrier can carry 1-2 kayaks at a time. The Stacker includes hardware and tie-down straps to help secure your kayaks to your roof rake and vehicle. It carrier can be mounted on a vehicle with a minimum crossbar spread of 24 inches. I you are looking for a carrier that will carry up to 2 kayaks and can be loaded easier form the side of the vehicle, then I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The JayLow carrier has a built-in ramp that will assist in loading your boat into the j-style position of the carrier. Once you have loaded a boat in the j-style part of the carrier, you can also install a second boat in the vertical position next to the other boat. Extra straps like # Y05006 will be needed to secure a second boat.
