Transporting Canoes or Kayaks ?

Hi, Ca

HI, Pat from MI here, wondering what Jhooks you iused here? MOsgt I found require 2.5 or 3 inches of clearance from rack to roof clearance and it look like I only have 2 inches or less. Your setup looks just like my roof rak and was wonderirng hwo much clearance you have from rack to roof. How long are the screws from you J hokk rack? Please provide brand name of J-hook or link if you can, thanks!

 

I have Thule bars and a double kayak rack for the roof but prefer to just pull them with this. Lots of extra room for stuff, no worries of rubbing paint when loading, doubles as a motorcycle hauler and folds up out of the way in the garage when done.

 

Kuat class 4 V2. 2 years and still going strong. I can fit 2 full size and 1 kid size kayaks. Nice thing is they fold down so you can still go in under ground parking garage.

 

I use these for my two 10ft kayaks. Just pop your hood open, put these inside and close the hood on them. I guess the straps could rub the paint but my trips are fairly short so I'm not too worried. My profile pic shows my setup.

 

Can you post info on that trailer please?

Thanks.

 

It's an Apogee Adapt-X 5x8 with the optional canoe rack.
