rack for a yak

XFACTOR

i was thinking of the yakima hully roller and a mako saddle, but the thule glide ones look pretty nice too.

unfortunately, the sea wings from malone don't seem to fit the xfactor.

any input would be appreciated.

I just use the soft longboard racks, turn it upside down and strap it down, but I got a yukon so most of the kayak has support.

MAN why go so Fancy... Slip a POOL NOODLE over the two crossbars ...flip that sucker over and use 2 1" cargo straps to hold it down. Save yourself a couple of hundred bucks!!! I have the Yakima set-up and the two straps hold that sucker TIGHT at over 90 MPH ( but of course I NEVER drive THAT fast)

Spend $50.00 and get the boat loader add-on..IT WILL SAVE YOUR BACK on those solo trips.
