That's what we're using, too. The Yakima cradles worked fine, and if I
always carried the same (one or two) boats, they'd be OK, but from one
weekend to the next I may be carrying 1 SK, 4 SKs, 6 WW kayaks, a kayak
and an open canoe, 2 opens, etc, and it was just too much trouble taking
the things on and off.
