Has anybody had any good or bad experiences with this roof rack?
I am researching installation of it on a 2013 Outback.
Alternative sugegstions are welcome.
Thanks

Boat details
Mainly a Valley Aquanaut LV and sometimes an SOF baidarka (17’7" long by 21" wide).
I would also like to know if an extender bar with a saddle can be added so I can also carry my wife’s Prijon Calabria.
good
Used it on a 2009 Honda CRV with my valley aqaunaut Lv composite.
It worked great. It dies raise the boat even higher however since you basically have crossbars on top of crossbars.
It’ll be fine
If you need the ability to slide the roller back over the lift gate then it’s quite good. If that feature isn’t needed then a pair of Marco Kayak Saddles will do the job at $135. Do be careful with hard chimes and Thule hydro glides on the aft portion of the Slipstream. They can tend to slide off the planes of a hard chine hull as you load it making it sit a-kilter. Not that it’s going to hurt the Calabria.
