Does anyone know if Toyota Matrix is long enough to carry a 17' sea
kayak?

With ease. My Honda Civic hatchback is somewhat smaller than a Matrix and
carries two sea kayaks comfortably.

We carry two 18' fibreglass boats on our VW Golf and we've never had a
problem. We do use bow and stern straps for all but the shortest trips
though.

It looks funny too because the boats are longer than the car and with a red
car and one yellow and one orange boat we make quite the sight.
