Putting more thought into my opinion on the Mako's...the damage done to your
boats will be done by abrasion on the hull from the flexibility of the
saddles while you are driving no matter how tight you strap it down...I am
clueless why Yakima didn't include the pads to prevent this...check out the
reviews at www.paddle.net I paddle with a woman who bought a brand new
Romany..and was shocked when I pointed out the white powder (gel coat) all
over her pads and roof.

I already use Yakima's J-cradles, but want to carry a second boat
flat.

Does anyone like Yakima's Mako saddles better than the Landshark
ones, and how come?

And what about those Hullyrollers? Are they as easy on a boat's
finish as one of saddles would be?


I suppose I could go with another brand if they fit on round bars,
too.


Thanks in advance for all opinions.
