: Problem of buying this stuff from a non-kayak dealer (REI is a non-kayak
: dealer), they don't know what they are selling. The roller and the J racks
: don't work together, arn't intended to. It's alot easier with a taller
: vehicle to use normal saddles then the roller would work fine.

: I've got both saddles and J racks and now only use the J racks with the
: trailer that's at waist height so I can just lower the boats onto the
: saddles, the way they are intended to work.

: When I'm car topping I only use saddles and carry the boats on their bottoms.

I am tempted to say; "They sell Old Town and Necky, don't they ?"

OK, not REAL Kayaks as understood here.

FORTUNATELY I was experimenting with a plastic Kayak, but perhaps UNfortunate, since 10 or 15 pounds lighter might have made enough of a difference to get it up there without drama.
I will get this sorted out long before I have a worth while kayak to put up there, or it will be horse trailers from here on (-:
