Can Swagman Exo Kayak Carrier Fit a Vibe Sea Ghost 130 Kayak
Question:
I have a Vibe Sea Ghost 130 Kayak 13 feet long 35 inches wide and weight is 80 lbs. will the Swagman Watersport Carriers # S65145 support this kayak?

Expert Reply:
The Swagman Exo kayak carrier, part # S65145, can definitely handle the weight and size of your Vibe Sea Ghost but when Iooked it up I'm more concerned about the shape of the hull.
The hull looks in some pictures that it coudl be relatively flat which would make it not sit too well in the Exo. If I'm wrong and it's a pretty standard shape then the Exo will be fine.
If the hull is pretty flat then a better carrier would be the Thule DockGrip, part # TH895. It's a saddle-style carrier that is more adjustable to different hull shapes than the Exo is.
