My favorite kayak carrier to recommend for two kayaks is the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. It's a J-style carrier for one boat but converts to a post style to carry two. It's not the only carrier that works this way but it has a higher weight capacity than the others since it can carry a total of 110 pounds.
You do need additional tie-downs for the second boat. Use part # Y04031. The JayLow also has the option of having lock cores added, part # Y07202.
I also recommend adding the Malone QuickLash hood loops, part # MPG308, to make the bow and stern connections easier.
