This is the best (7 year old) photo I have, showing the Yakima show boat loader and Mako saddles on my 2007 Subaru Outback, supporting my 2010 Hobie Outback.
The Yakima combination was solid and very safe at highway speeds.

Saw on youtube someone was using a Yakima Showboat as a kayak loader assist AND holder, links below. Looks like a good idea but was wonder if anyone here had some thoughts on it before I pull the trigger? https://youtu.be/UJ2gjvI8SOY?t=310 https://youtu.be/UJ2gjvI8SOY?t=678 |

I too purchased the Show boat loader for my 2007 Subaru Outback when I owned a 2010 Hobie Outback. Not only does it make it much easier to load the kayak, it also protects the very expensive rear spoiler on the rear hatch. I used the Yakima Mako saddles on the crossbars to cradle the kayak on the roof rack.......not cheap, but totally safe. |
