Question:
I got the sea wings for carrying my 85lb Hobie outback on top of my Subaru Forester.. The sea wing says 75 lb weight limit.. should I get mega wing instead? Or is that 75lb limit just on top of one wing? Or is the weight of kayak spread out
asked by: Rick
Expert Reply:
The 75-lbs weight limit for the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG113MD is the total weight limit that rack can handle (both pieces).
Since you mentioned that your Hobie Outback weighs 85-lbs, you're going to want to use the:
-Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG207, which has a maximum weight capacity of 150-lbs.
This is the much better option and will ensure that you have plenty of capacity for your Hobie Outback.
