Expert Reply:
The SportRack # SR1002 roof rack is a confirmed fit for your MalibuMaxx, according to SportRack. Once installed, the roof rack will have a 130 lb weight capacity. If the combined weight of the kayaks is less than the rack's capacity, it'll handle the weight without issue. Installation hardware is included, but the kayak carriers themselves are sold separately. Swagman offers a practical option, the J-Rack part # S65148. The carriers include the straps needed to secure the kayaks to the roof rack and the bow/stern tie-downs.
