Will a Lifetime Hydros 85 Angler Kayak Fit on a Swagman Contour # S65148

Question:

I have a Lifetime Hydros 85 Angler Kayak I will be putting on a 65 inch cross rail next to a 12 ft Shadow caster. The Shadow Caster will be on a cradle style rack Coronado. Will the Swagman J-style work with this setup? The Hydros has a unique body style and I want to be sure it will be secure when we travel for 8-10 hours. I would like to load it on another Coronado but I am not sure they would fit side-by-side. Thanks

The Swagman Contour # S65148 is a perfect fit for carrying your Lifetime Hydros 85 Angler Kayak alongside your Shadow Caster. Since you have crossbars that are 65" long there should be more than enough room for both kayaks. The only requirements of the Contour is that the kayak weighs no more than 100 lbs and the crossbars of your roof rack are no less than 24" on center.
