Oh that's right, my wife got a damn sectional and armoire instead because a kayak is a frivolous and selfish expense.

She finally got here:


Loaded on Yakima sweetrolls:


I have to wait until Saturday to get her wet though

Is that your old stuff? If so, I am going to agree with your wife.

I'm guessing that is the old one in the picture.

It looks like y'all have been needing a new one badly. I'd say your wife is right in this case.

You should have spent the money on a shed.

ETA: and an ashtray.

I would plan and work deep into the night turning that monstrosity into something that floats and slightly resembles a kayak solely for that single moment when your wife comes out and sees the sectional loaded up in the trailer and you can tell her you're going out kayaking.

Man I feel for you. I'm not going to crack any jokes here because I see my friends going through stuff like this pretty regular these days. I'm so glad I never got married and can spend my money on what ever the hell I want.

Didn't want to start a new thread so...

Got my kayak ordered yesterday. 14' cuda black widow (thanks to poster who mentioned that color combo)

So now I need a rack to carry it. I ordered the sherpa roof rack yesterday:


I've been looking at Thule and Yakima for carriers and I've narrowed it down to two options from Yakima. The sweetroll and the hullyrollers. Coming to the OB for some reviews. Any one have either of these?

Sweetroll:


Hullyrollers:



Thought about buying the sweetroll and a pair of hullyrollers for the rear but that might be overkill.

I went with Yakima Sweetrolls. Loading the kayak was great but when unloading, the rear pads rolled on the Yakima bars. I'm going to have to modify them somehow to make them stay put/fixed. I don't know how yet but I'll figure something out.

Review: 2 out of 5 stars
