Was thinking about jumping on the EMS 20% sale for these:

http://www.ems.com/product/index.jsp?produ...3677349.3737540

Would be used to carry a Manitou 13 on its side while giving enough space for a surfski on the factory rack (as it is normally carried).

Read one review mentioning they weren't designed for rec kayaks, with EMS responding they should be good for plastic boats up to 13' or so.

Wondering if folks had experience with stackers and plastic rec boats/fitment issues.

Like the stackers because of the price, the ability to fold down, and offering enough space for the surfski. J-cradles appear to take up more space, and models that fold cost more than the base models.

Thanks!

I would like to recommend them. I use them all the time to hall around WW boats, Kayak polo boats and sea kayaks.
