Question:

Thank you so much for your response. My two kayaks Current Design are about 177inch long. Do I have to buy something else to support these two kayaks on the roof of my Outback?

For your 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon with factory crossbars the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier # RR571 is going to fit and would not require the use of any additional components to secure your 177 inch long kayaks. There are no kayak length restrictions for this carrier.

This carrier can only hold one kayak so you would need to order a quantity of 2.

I attached a review video for this product that shows it being used to secure a kayak.

I have a solution for you but the 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item #TH711420 you referenced are not going to be wide enough for you to mount two Hullavators item #TH898 and use the lift assist function. To use two Hullavators you will need a…

The primary difference between the two Rhino-Rack Nautic rear-loading kayak carriers #RR581 and #RR571 is the type of roof crossbar they will install on. The #RR581 works with crossbars that have an internal channel (please see the photo I linked for…
