Question:
Hello, I just purchased a tandem kayak which weighs approximately 90 lbs and is 21 ft long. Id like to find a suitable rack system to carry it and am wondering what you recommend for my 14foot Outback. Would a Sweet Roll be able to hold the weight? My other option would be to use the hullyroller and mako saddles which I already have, but Im not sure which mighty mount would do the trick for my factory rack. Thanks for your help!

Expert Reply:
The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading # Y04074 has a load capacity of 80 lbs. For easy loading and support I recommend using the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender for Truck Bed or Roof # EM07605 along with a foam block like the Malone # MPG172 and # e98880 hitch lock to help with the weight capacity as well as the extended length.
