Does anyone have any experience with the new Yakima Sweetroll mounts?

I have 2014 Oasis that I haul on top of a Subaru Outback but I read a couple of reviews on Amazon who noted that the mounts don't perform that well with wider hulls. I was just curious if anyone had tried them or if Hobie Customer Services had any suggestions.

Did a little more research and found that the Sweetroll's maximum weight capacity is 85 lbs. The 2014 Oasis is 95 lbs so it looks like I'm back to the drawing board.

On my 2007 Subaru Outback, I carried my 2010 Hobie Outback using Yakima's 48" crossbars, rail grab 4 pack with lock set, 4 Mako saddles, 66" bars for the showboat roller that made aft loading a breeze + it protected the rear hatch spoiler/third stop light assembly.
This set up worked really well for the three years I owned my Hobie Outback.
Make sure use use a forward and aft safety line :wink:
