Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Hobie Mirage Compass Fishing Kayak  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Since your Hobie Mirage Compass fishing kayak weighs 87 lbs you're either going to have to use a post-style carrier like the Yakima BigStack # Y04041 or use 2 sets of a J-Style carrier like the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878.

I recommend going with 2 of the J-Styles simply because it will be easier to load an individual kayak on each one, especially with your heavier kayak.

If you don't already have a roof rack then I recommend using a Yakima CoreBar roof rack. The correct parts for your application will depend on whether or not you have the flush mount rails that run front to back.

With flush mounted rails:
50" CoreBar - # Y00421
SightLine Towers - # Y64AR
SightClip - # Y39AR

Without flush mounted rails:
50" CoreBar - # Y00421
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
Fit Kits - # Y06138 AND # Y06128
