For a 74 lb tandem kayak the best load-assisted kayak carrier would be the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 which allows you to load the kayak at about waist level and then use the gas assisted struts to push it up the rest of the way. This also has a 75 lb weight capacity unlike other similar options so it works in that regard as well.
