GREAT RACK!!

Rating:*****

I recently used our hullraiser aero this past weekend and took our 9 foot kayak and our 14 foot kayak to Lake Powell. It was great!! My only complaint is that the 14 foot kayak seemed to sway quite a bit more than I would have liked. We hit a spot on the way home where the winds picked up to about 40 or 50 mph and I thought it was going to rip the 14 foot kayak and rack right off the roof. The 9 foot boat didn't have any problems at all. I think with a boat that long it would have been better to use the mako saddles but the hullraiser worked perfect with our 9 foot kayak. All in all it was a GREAT rack!!!

Excellent Product

Rating:*****

Used this system for several trip already in New Jersey including Split Rock Reservoir, Delaware River, and Island Beach State Park from the Clifton area. Did not loose any kayaks (two on top of a small crossover) while on both the Parkway and backcountry dirt roads. Make sure to use the included straps as they are key and extremely useful. After a few trips you can get the system down to about 10 minutes for putting it on your car with the kayaks if you have 2 people.

very sturdy

Rating:*****

This makes traveling with a kayak nice. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. I have a 2004 toyota 4 runner and these fit perfect on the factory racks. It takes about 2 minutes to put these on and about 10 minutes for us to load the tandem yak. Once the kayak is tied down it will not move even at 55 mph.

the yakima hullraiser aero was a perfect fit on a 2001 ford explorer roof rack and the instructions explained it all, I had it all loaded in less than an hour thanks.
