Yakin, now let's test that rack out with two yaks.
If both yaks can sit side by side on the rack it should work perfectly.
I am going to measure the rack right now to see.

14-16MPG in the city and barely 20 on the freeways cruising around 80. factory turbo, 300HP and AWD, engine is same size as a soda bottle....yah i didn't buy the car to act like a prius LOL

My buddy just got a 09' trd, trying to get him to get a yak as well.

For the scupper hole idea, I do like that but I've been thinking of added a third strap through the rear doors, tie down the yak to the car rather then depend on the roof rack system. Maybe being too paranoid but never had a kayak on a roof rack before, just my bikes.
Don't want to put undue stress to the scupper holes just tie down your stern and bow like in the pic (oh look its a wrx) :)

what did you tie down to? The evo doesn't offer easy access to the tow points. Just for loading the EVO onto a trailer or something

Not my car just pic I saw and post for an example....yea tow points are a must
