My 2012 Revo's come in at 60 lb each I believe. Subie factory rack may be rated for 150 lb.
Can you fit two boats on the wagon? Yes Are the Subie crossbars safe? Yes
Can one trust the factory rig and just add Thule or Yakima j-holders and run bow and stern lines for safety? Yes
Do molded pads help cradle boats and assist hard points handling the load? (Long hauls) unsure, got pic?
Are side lifts or roller rigs a plus? added weight, and not needed: keep it simple!
Answers in
bold.
For the weight rating your manufacturer claims, I think you'll be ok. My car didn't come with racks or cross bars. I carry two Revos on my Thule racks: One is on J-racks, the other is upside-down (keel up) on the crossbars.
