As Brian said, you can carry more kayaks. Or you can do like my kids and put an enclosed box between the kayaks. My daughter and her husband drive a Subaru Outback (doesn't everyone?) and with the J-bars they can put their two kayaks (a Nimbus Telkwa and a Nimbus Solander) on the outside each slanted towards the center of the car. This gives them enough room for an enclosed box between them which carries PFDs, paddles, etc. This frees up the back of the car for their three Huskies. Only one of which, alas, likes to kayak.
