I have 2 10" kayaks and am looking for a way to transport other than a roof rack. Would this work for that?

You would have to rigid some sort of support on the beams to use this, but the frame is certainly sturdy enough to handle 2 kayaks.

Did you mean 10' instead of 10"? If you place one on top the other and properly secure with straps that is workable. If you intend to carry them side by side I am not sure...I will need to know the width of the Kayaks.

You mean 10' (foot, not 10 inches, I am sure)....Yes the frame is plenty sturdy for your intended use...You'll need to modify & place them, one on top of the other....I bought mine to haul my 12' Porte-bote (without having to fold it up all the time, after each use....It works great for my use....I recommend this trailer!!!

With some modifications for dual it will work. My 14' ocean predator works great. I will get one for my wife this spring and will make the modifications for two.

Definitely. It holds my 10', three-person, fishing kayak that weighs 70 pounds and it much broader than the average kayak. It is very sturdy. Love it!

I wouldn't put anything that requires stability. When I carried my kayak on it, it wouldn't really work well without a strap from the front and the rear of the kayak. A cargo carrier seems like a dangerous proposition with this carrier and I would highly advise against it.This is mostly designed to keep a solid object from damaging your car, not truly securing something.

Yes - in my opinion, this would work fine BUT you really need to secure your kayak well to the cart - I find the best success of toting my 11 footer is by securing the cart to the middle of the kayak rather than the opposite end you are pulling - good luck!!

If you have a roof rack you should be ok. When you strap the kayak down these buffers really compress, so the front and back of the kayak might bang on the front and back of the roof while driving if you don't have a rack, especially over bumps. In any case, you will need more straps than the ones that come with this setup.

I transport my kayak on it and it works great. I'd put my board in a bag just to keep debris from getting on it but I'm sure it would be fine either way as long as you secure it tightly

It's easily strong enough to hold a couple kayaks. Just tie them down. You'll be fine.

Probably - I use this to transport my 14' sea kayak. The strap that secures your kayak to the wheels is adjustable, so you can make sure it's tight and will hold. You just want to make sure there's a pull strap on the other end of your kayak.

The trailer is designed for a jon boat or row boat. I guess it is not good to transport a 12 feet kayak because it is not easy to sit the kayak on the trailer steadily. If you want to do some DIY work, it might be OK.

You should have plenty of room. The kayak wing has a universal attachment and comes with two sets of screws, long and short, and wing nuts. I used this one along with the attachment for the back which helps it slide on. It is a nice rack.

I use it for Thule kayak carriers. You can use them for bike racks. Check out Yakima and Thule. Both websites you can enter in vehicle info and select optional factory crossbars, and the options are given for what bike racks can be used.

Yes but you will have to tilt it at a angle. I have a 14' kayak on the bottom and a 11' on top. Love the rack!

That shouldn't be a problem. I have a pair of Wilderness Systems kayaks in the 50-60 lb range. These handles work well for carrying our kayaks.

We bought them to haul our 12 ft tandem kayak which is 70 pounds. We traveled a hundred miles with it. It seems sturdy enough but I wouldn't go over the 100 pound limit. They were really easy to install as well.

Hi,I carried an aluminum canoe on my 5 door golf using this rack once, so I think your kayak would be just fine. You'd need straps to tie down to the frame of your car though, obviously. This rack pretty much just serves as an offset so the kayak isn't riding right on the roof. I think if you wanted to secure the kayak without using rope etc. you'd have to find some special connection in addition to this rack.

Rhonda, in my case I would have to say it is only good for one. I have a Moken 12.5 that is 32" wide. I have been looking at getting a touring kayak, and I have been thinking the same question about transporting two.

Sure, but it might be a bit overkill. I bought two of the Jumbo Arm Storage Hooks to hold a 10-foot kayak that weighs about 40 lbs.
