Never been on one, but a friend of mine owns a kayak shop--does that count? lol He rents those same models to tourists on Tybee Island. I think they would be cool to use to get into those backwaters where no one else can go.

We'll have to have Valiant start a kayaking forum.
nice little ride splinter.

Spare; I've seen guys make up some legs out of 3/4" PVC pipe to raise the crate up high enough to clear the well. Just use plastic cable ties to connect to the crate.
Go to www.kayakfishingstuff.com lots of pics and ideas. Some write ups to read. It'll keep you busy for quite some time.

Got one and enjoy it so much that I bought a canoe.
spare, I can't find any useful info on the racks I've got. All I know is they came from the Jeep dealer.
Like most things, they weren't made by Jeep but a company made them for Chrysler.

Have yall lost your minds, thats worse than a blow boat.

i guess you don't want to here about when I used to race catamaran sailboats do you?

Around here, kayaks are the way to get to the fish no one can get to, I've tried wading the flats, but my shoes end up full of snails and shells, i walk 10 miles, and all I do is see the fish i miss. Randleman, once I get this thing rigged out, come on down here and try, you'll love it. And to not slight the V, I'm trying to figure out how to build a rack to transport the yak on the v to go to places that are to far away from the ramp to paddle

If you don't tell me about racing sail boats, I won't tell you about the canoe leaning against my house.

This is what I ended up modifying and making for the canoe.

Front tie location with a 1 1/4" reciever.

Rear swivel mount and tie location.

And the rooftop mount and tie location

The mount and tie locations were finished off with trailer "Glide Slicks" to not rattle and wear so much on the canoe.
Yes it'll work for the ka-yuck in a pinch.
One day when I actually use it I'll post pictures of the canoe on it.
