Reply To: Hullavator for Sue?

My partner has a Hullavator on her car (a large SUV). She leaves the bars for the rack on the car year-round, but removes the hinged portion (that actually holds the kayak) when not carrying her kayak. We find it cumbersome/awkward to line up the holes in the rack and insert the pin that holds it all together before loading a boat. It’s almost a 2-person operation, although I’ve done it by myself once. I guess it depends on the height of the roof. A lower roof would make it easier.

Once the rack is all set up, it’s a piece of cake to lift the boat up onto the rack (you have to manoeuvre both front and back lifters together).

Hope that helps.
