Somewhere between a repost either Joe Broza or Ralph Diaz said (I lost track of whose quotes were whose) Snip Trouble is limitation in how many boats you can carry. You can't stack >em on their sides and therefore it looks like a small car could carry >just two at best. With roof rack bars you have a wider expanse for >putting on the boats side by side. > >> Yakima makes something called a Kayak Stacker. It is meant for stacking kayaks on their rails - a very strong point on the boat.(pads are available) I purchased this kit along with the Sweet Roll. I use the Sweet Roll for my fav boat. And I use the kayak stacker for stacking my friends boats side by side. My little Metro is not limited to 2 boats in cradles. I can put 4 on with the stacker/cradle combo or 5 boats on total using the stackers alone. The car only seats 4 with room for gear in the back. Although one may argue that I could strap an expendable friend on the hood. Far better than my old pickup. Thank God for Yakima's Metro kit- I can haul all mine and my friends boats and still get 40 mpg.
