(More customer reviews)Yakima Mako saddles rule!
I can understand the impulse to save a few bucks by purchasing the landsharks or another brands saddles but don't do it. Why pay $3,000.00 for a fiberglass kayak and then beat the hull to death on your roof or worse yet lose the boat on the highway.
Yakima mako saddles adjust to many different hull shapes, hold the boat very securely and provide a bit of cushion for the boat over bumps. I have used these saddles on several different fiberglass and poly boats and have been extremely pleased with the hull contact. I have not seen hull abrasions and roughening at the site of contact that occurs with other saddles. While the slight movement of the boat while traveling takes some getting used too - this is the saddle flexing, not the boat moving in the saddles - this action gives the boat a bit of cushion on 4x4 or rough roads. Very secure at highway speeds.
Great product that should last you years and years.

Tired of pain-in-the-rear kayak carriers that take up a ton of space while functioning poorly? Turn to the Yakima Mako Saddles rooftop kayak carrier, which employs a scoop-shaped cradle design that fits virtually any hull shape. Suitable for sea kayaks, recreational kayaks, and whitewater boats, the carrier includes a set of Dynaflex pads that grip the boat hull securely, along with a tightening strap that gives you complete control over the grip. The padded buckle, meanwhile, protects both your boat and your vehicle from unsightly scratches.
Thanks to the bundled bow/stern tie-down straps, your kayak will stay incredibly stable whether you're cruising down a country road or a busy highway. An ideal companion for Yakima's HullyRollers or Multimount accessories, the carrier works with round, square, and most factory crossbars (the latter requires the Multimounts) and carries a one-year warranty.
