Well here it.
3 kayaks on hauled on side on suv roof.
And if so what system do you use how wide are your load bars etc.
Kayaks especially the longer touring and sea models are heavy and unwieldy so this part is best done with two people.
If the police do stop you because they don t like the look of your load and find out you have exceeded the manufacturers roof load limit you can almost certainly be done for being overloaded or carrying a dangerous load or something.
I have an old tandem but its so big and ugly i hate using it thanks barry.
I m fairly certain we can get them all on the roof so if anyone has a good rack system to recommend i would really appreciate it.
I pull up to the boat ramp and guys are always looking and asking questions.
I need advice on the best way to transport 3 kayaks on the roof of an suv.
We used to haul an oasis and two revo 13 s on the roof of our yukon denali.
We always drove a truck but this year we have a large suv.
Had two sets of malone wings with the extra revo on it s side tied between the other two.
Unless you drive a military hum v chances are your vehicle isn t wide enough to fit two fishing kayaks side by side on the cross bars.
Compatible with both standard and aerodynamic thule bars the kayak stacker allows multiple kayaks to be transported upright side by side on the roof.
I need to put a 12ft 9 5ft and a youth 6 5ft up there.
Flip your kayak over so the cockpit is facing down and with one person on each end lift the kayak onto your vehicle s roof so that the center of the kayak is resting on the central pool noodle.
Most fishing kayaks are in the range of 30 to 33 wide and that makes for a necessarily wide vehicle.
The logistics of fitting 3 kayaks on the roof is relatively easy making sure you stay within the manufacturers load limit for your roof is harder.
We have 3 lifetime sit on top kayaks a 10 ft 8 5 ft and 6 ft we may get another one at some point my husband thought we could use the j style such as the thule hull a port kayak carrier w tie downs j style fixed side loading th834.
Id like to get my wife a kayak and do trips with our son.
Hated the malone wings tore a few of those malone wings off in tampa airport parking garage yea i fly a lot oops.
To fit two kayaks on a roof rack you need to position them at an angle using a holder such as the thule hull.
