I have exactly that setup...and found that the Mako's will eat your gel coat
if you don't also purchase and instal their pads ($10 for 2) They marked up
my plastic Necky too..otherwise they are so flexible you don't have to
adjust much from boat to boat and loading from the rear is easier with my
SUV. The Yakima cradles are more difficult to load if your vehicle's
profile is very high...I have to almost climb on top to do it..but wish I
had two cradles if I had it to do over again...a plus for both is that they
are both fast to instal or take off if you want to lockem up while you're
gone.

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.
