Question:

I have 2 sun dolphin kayaks x 10ft long x 29inch wide with a pretty flat bottom. Will my kayaks fit properly on the cradles. Im traveling from Florida to Ontario, Canada.

The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack part # S65145 works great with most kayaks. The wide base allows for different shaped hulls with wide or narrow widths. It also can support kayaks up to 100 lbs. There are no restrictions on the kayaks length or width. The base does not need to cover the entire width of the hull so there will be no problems there. In regards to length, the further apart the bases are spaced, the more support you will have for longer kayaks so just keep that in mind when installing them onto a vehicle with adjustable crossbar spread but there is a maximum of 24" (center of front bar to center of rear bar). The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack will come with everything you need to tie it down as well.

Unfortunately, we don't have a list of every kayak the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack has been tested to work with but as stated earlier, this is not needed since the range is so broad.
