Best Kayak Carrier For 90 lb Old Town Fishing Kayak

Question:

Hello, I am looking for a kayak carrier. I have a 2012 Subaru Outback with Factory Crossbars. The Kayak is an Old town Sportsman PDL 120. It weighs 92 pounds and is 36 inches wide. What options do you recommend?

The best option for your heavy Old Town fishing kayak is from Malone:

- Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG207

The MegaWing # MPG207 has a 150 lb capacity, and is the best option because it is the only carrier that has the needed capacity to carry your Old Town that weighs just over 90 lbs. It will fit your 2012 Outback's factory crossbars, and is easy to mount to your crossbars with its clamping system.

The carrier even comes with load straps and bow/stern tie-downs so you don't have to purchase those separately. The only other thing I recommend considering, to make tying down your kayak easier, are hood loops, the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs # MPG308.
