Kayak Rack finished!

Finally finished my kayak rack. First trip to the coast at OBX scheduled for October with my Ocean Kayak Big Game 2. I have the front part of the rack made to swivel around and to swivel down. Making it easy for me to load by myself.

Looks great Ted. I would be afraid though of getting tunnel vision on that front pole in your line of site...just kidding.

Nice rack. You prefer hull side down for loading ease? I just picked up a Jackson Cuda 12 and need to figure out the best way to transport. I do have a front receiver and round tubes over the cab. Your method is intriguing.... My camper is bumper pull, but I like to keep the bed open for "stuff".

I like to carry hull down just because it sits better and I don't want the seat dropping down or in case the center hatch (where I keep my lures) were to open.

Makes sense. I like that mine has a paddle groove, it fits perfect on the front bar when upside down on my double rails. Makes it feel very secure. I remove the seat during transport, but you are right about hatches possibly opening and dumping contents.

Man, looks like someone is in for a nice vacation !!!
I always thought upside down was the best way just for the aerodynamics of it... going down the road at 60 mph would push the hull down not lift it up ?!?

but your way, you could always put granny up there like the Beverly Hillbillies
