Here's 3 on top...
It all depends on what make of kayak you're haulin'... here's a Revo, an Outfitter and a Torque all on an '87 Pathfinder. The racks are Yakima with Mako saddles in the middle and 2 Yakima Hull Raisers on the sides:

My brother and I double deck our yaks all the time. He has a PA 12 and I peddle an outback. his goes on first keel down and mine goes on top keel up. Each are strapped down individually to the rack. We drive 180-250 miles round trip depending on where we go and have never had a problem. If I can find a pic I will post one up.
I drive a Suburban and he drives a wrangler we have done it on both, carrying the yaks I mean. |

I carry a Hobie Oasis Tandem (14.5Ft), and a Malibu Mini-X on my roof rack, side-by-side. It's a bit wide on my Honda Accord roof, but it works fine. I have the Hully-Roller and Mako saddles for the long Hobie. For the mini-X, I just have the Yakima Landshark saddles since the mini-X is light enough to just toss up there. I'll post a pic later, since it's already dark outside.
BUT.. for my year Honda Accord, I'm supposed to use a 48" crossbar, but mine are 55", so it works for me. |

You can load one right side up and put the second one upside down on top of the one that's right side up, right?

Dont risk having a possible insecure load. Go with a Thule Hullaport Pro or a Stacker. The cost of this is worth it in the ease of use and the security in knowing your not going to be replacing a kayak or somebodys car or even killing somebody just because you tried to avoid spending a little money to do it right.

Thanks for the replies and the pic does help some.
Any pros and cons on J style vs. stacker setup?
