a quality piece of work | |
| Rating: |  |
Just like every other rack made by Yakima, the Hull Raiser feels like a quality piece of work. The rack comes with the straps where the buckles are enclosed into the rubber housing that feel soft enough to protect even the most delicate wooden hull. This rack keeps the kayak in the vertical position, on its side, which the preferred way of transporting and storing the larger kayaks, according to the kayak manufacturers. You have to be aware though that such position adds significantly to the overall height of your vehicle. It also makes loading the kayak on the rack a bit of a challenge if you have a tall vehicle. For example, we use Hull Raiser to secure our 90lb+ Current Designs Libra XT, perhaps the largest double kayak on the market, on top of our Isuzu Trooper SUV. After a few initial nearly-fiasco attempts we decided to use a three-step ladder, which made the loading much easier. If your vehicle has wide enough roof to spread the bars apart, you dont even need the bow/stern straps; the kayak feels very secure. All in all, I highly recommend this rack, especially if you have a double kayak. | |

"Buy these...they're easy to use and work really well!" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought two sets of these to throw on my Subaru and drive my kayaks across the country. Putting the racks on was really easy...they just screwed onto the factory crossbars and I was set to go in about twenty minutes. The other great thing about these is that they come with just about everything you would need. The racks came with adapters for Thule/Yakima crossbars, along with really high quality straps and tie-downs. The tie-downs even have a great little plastic tube that you can move up and down so that your car is protected from the strap at the contact point. The only other thing I'd mention is that since they're so awesome and so easy to put on, they're also easy to take off. You m | |

"If you seek a durable, affordable roof rack system, look no further than this one." | |
| Rating: | |
| I did a lot of research on roof racks for my two kayaks. This system had the greatest combination of durability and most affordability. Assembly is minimal, it takes only a few minutes to determine what type of roof rack you have and assemble your rack accordingly. Directions are simple. The rack goes up on the roof in 10 minutes the first time you use them, but the second time its even faster. It comes off the roof in two minutes. And when you strap down the kayak, neither the rack nor the boat are going anywhere. | |

"I am slit-minded about this product. I don't recomended for everydays use." | |
| Rating: |  |
| Actually the product is working well for its intend, however, puting an heavy kayak in roof of my mini van is not a pleasant experience. If you need once a while to trasport your kayak it does definately work. I am thinking about purchasing a light trailor (around $1000), which makes things easier, if you have trailor hutch. | |

| These roof racks are sturdy and secure. I wish there was a way to secure/lock them down to prevent theft. Good value and quality. | |
