Apparently there are two widths - I'm getting the widest one so, hopefully,
it will work just fine for my kayaks and canoe. 

I wonder about the proper "stick out" for your friend because they ask the
width of your kayak/canoe before selling/shipping. It would probably be
easy for your friend to exchange the narrow model for a wider one. 

I'm curious about why it didn't "work well" - could you say a bit more...
