Recommended J-Style Kayak Carrier for Lifetime Emotion Spitfire 12 Kayak
Question:
I have a Yakima JayLow rack will my Lifetime Emotion Spitfire 12 kayak fit?
asked by: Tammi
Expert Reply:
Your Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 features a weight capacity of 80 pounds for 1 kayak. Based on my research, the Lifetime Emotion Spitfire 12 Kayak weighs in right at 90 pounds. With this in mind, you will be exceeding the weight limit of the JayLow if you were to load you kayak onto this carrier. I do recommend verifying the weight of your kayak to make sure this is correct.
For a J-Style carrier that can handle this weight, I recommend taking a look at the Rhino-Rack # S510. It has a weight capacity of 99 pounds and can carry 1 kayak on its side. 2 tie-down straps and 2 tie-down anchors are included to secure everything into place on the roof of your vehicle.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can also check out.
