Question:

I have 2 Hobie kayaks 12+foot long, 95lbs each. We have a Yakima round bar roof rack mounted on our Range Rider pick up topper. We were curious if we could mount TWO Hullavators on our roof rack or if there are any other solutions. Please, advise. Thank you.

You can theoretically mount as many Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist w/ Tie-Downs # TH898 as your roof will allow room for.

So if you have room for another, and your roof won't be maxed out by the kayaks, you're good to add another Hullavator. However I'd make sure first that you aren't going to be maxing out your roof's capacity, you should be able to find this information in your owner's manual.

The only other solution would be to use a kayak trailer like the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR.
