It consists of a single length of coated steel tubing bent into a U shape (like the kayak stackers) and then bent so that it forms a J. That is, on the rack it looks like a J from the front or back and an upside-down U, about five inches wide, from the side. There are pads between the two sides of the U to support the kayak and a rigid plastic mount to connect to the rack crossbars. You need two per kayak, one each for the front and rear crossbars. There are no special strap connection points, you just wrap the strap around the bar like you do for the stacker. It seems quite sturdy. Don't know the price or model number. >> These are the Hull-A-Ports (I think that's the right spelling) I had installed on the Kia Sedona minivan. They're about $100/pair. The full set-up of two cross bars (rail riders that attach and detach easily from factory racks) and two sets (ie 4 to transport two boats) of hull-a-ports was $400. sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
