Customer Review: works great, kayaks stay on
Just FYI, you can put two kayaks on with only one rack, as long as you buy some extra straps for the second boat. I bought two, since we have two kayaks, but only needed one. That said, I did need the second set of straps, ropes, and hooks. When we eventually buy two more boats (total of 4), I will only need to buy some extra straps and we will be all set.
Customer Review: Thule 830 kayak carrier
This is a good deal for someone wanting to carry a couple of Kayaks, without spending a small fortune.
The only problem was, the instructions were a little vague, and no pictures to guide you. There are drawings, but leave a lot to be desired.
They claim you can carry four kayaks, but until I see a picture of how to do this, I would only carry two.
