Thule Hullavator 897XT $300 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thule Hullavator 897XT $300
This is in brand new condition. I assembled it, put in on my truck, put my yak in it. Took some pictures and that is it. It never left the driveway. It has been sitting in the box ever since. It works great.
I only have use of one hand. I thought this would help me with loading my yak. It does a great job of that, but I can’t leave it on my truck. I had a harder time putting the Hullavator on my truck one handed, than the yak itself. It was a good attempt, but not a solution for me. I paid $599 for it, but it has been just sitting in the box in my garage. It is assembled so it won’t fit back in the box. The box itself is kind of beat up, but the Hullavator is brand new. The only time it was used is what you see in the pictures. It comes with all the straps and instruction booklet.
I’m in Fountain Valley. Pick up or I can deliver it within a reasonable distance.

I'm interested, does it fit yakima round bars?

Yes it fits the round Yakima bars. I made sure that it would fit Yakima bars before I bought it because that is what I have.
