Question:

I am looking for a way to transport 2 Vibe Sea Ghost 130's with a 2016 Kia Soul. I have the factory roof racks installed but if there is a better option I am open to using that as well thanks.

There is a way for you to carry a pair of (very nice) Vibe Sea Ghost kayaks on the factory roof rack of your 2016 Kia Soul. Before doing so, however, because the kayaks are pushing 75 lbs, you may want to call your local Kia dealer to see if your Soul's roof can handle that much weight. If so, a great solution for you would be the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier # RRS520. It is a clamp-on system that comes with the tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs for two kayaks, and has a weight capacity of 165 lbs.

I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.
