Room for Four HullRaiser Aeros?

[Rick_E]

Hello,

I have 78" crossbars mounted on the bunks of my Ski Nautique trailer to carry kayaks. I have 70" available width for the kayaks between the wheels.

Can I fit four HullRaiser Aeros carrying four kayaks in my 70" available width? Thanks for any advice.

Sorry I forgot to mention that my two kayaks are Wilderness Systems Alto, which are 22" wide. The two additional kayaks will be consumer-grade sea kayaks but I don't know the models. Thanks.

yeah. the Yakima Hullraiser Aero kayak racks will work perfectly on your setup. The j-cradle kayak rack design maximizes efficient use of your crossbars for a good configuration to carry all 4 kayaks including the Wilderness Systems Alto models.

by the way, if those 78 inch crossbars are Yakima round cross bars or Thule square bars then you can go with the cheaper priced Yakima 8004039 HullRaiser kayak rack model. It doesn't come with the universal crossbar adapter clamps / hardware but it fits Yakima Racks round bars and Thule square bars directly and costs less than the HullRaiser Aero kayak rack model designed to work on factory rack crossbars (as well as Yakima Racks and Thule Racks).

here is a good pic demonstrating how well 4 Yakima HullRaiser kayak racks work on a trailer...
