Can you fit 2 Revo 13's on a Subaru Outback? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

We're looking at the new Outback wagon and it's stock rack. The racks are built in, so I don't know if a 3rd party rack is an option...

I'm seeing lots of folks getting a single yak on any number of small cars and SUVs.

But, we've got two Rev 13s.

Is this feasible ... stupid?

Use the J style racks from Yakima or Thule. They will be on their sides,

Would they rest on the Outback's stock rack or be a new rack install on the car? (And thanks for the info)

Subaru makes kayak carriers that stand the yaks on their sides.

I just got back from the cambria slam down with a trident 15 and a hobie quest on my roof rack on top of a Prius plug in. It also had big ass cooler filled with ice and fish, a weekends worth of clothes, gear , beer, paddles, Ross, gaffs etc. no problem. So yeah. Your car will be fine.
