Hi! I would like to know if is somebody using this carrier with outrigger canoes? I'm looking on alternatives for OC-1 and OC-2 carriers.

Hello. We currently use these cradles for our OC-1 canoes. Have not had any problems with them. I like them better than the old aluminum "v" rack we used before.

I love this hitch. You can raise a battleship with it. It also allows at least two carriers at the same time. I use my trailer and a bicycle rack on this hitch at the same time.

I have taken this boat on a small lake along with a bigger boat. it is hard to control its direction, fits one perfect 2 fit tight but doable holds up to 350lbs I believe, but I also have a challenger 2person inflatable kayak that work a lot better for what you are looking for and fishing

I have the 16-18 foot version for a 16 foot modified v-hull with outboard. There is a 14-16 foot version but I opted for the larger to easily use a support system for it. I was afraid the smaller would be too tight or not cover sufficiently.Based on that i'd say a 12-14 foot size would work. But you may want to look at all the models available before deciding as I did.

I just got back from a whitewater canoe trip (3 day / 35 miles) using the Baja Dry Bag and I flipped twice and all my gear floated down river. My bag contained a ton of gopro equipment. Everything was nice and dry each night we made camp. Bag was also floating in about an inch of water in our boat basically the entire trip and still had no issues.

It can fit many canoes by moving it fore or aft. This may not yield ideal placement, but will be in the ballpark for many 'casual recreation' canoes.

Hi Megh, Unfortunately this carrier accommodates kayaks up to 34" wide and 75lbs. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I put this carrier on a Yukon XL with the factory luggage racks and it worked very well. I had no problems with it at all in terms of fitting. Just as an extra precaution I tied the carrier down in addition to the tie downs that come standard with the product.

You can use a workaround, the same way you would with an Ergo (YouTube search: Ergo hip carry). It's a little awkward to get setup, and not listed in the instructions, but doable :)

There are no oar mounts on the boat. I carry a paddle on the boat as a piece of safety equipment. It can be done but a small trolling motor works the best for me. The seats put you up higher than a row boat thus making oaring more difficult.

Hey Luis:I am 6-0, 235 so I hear you. Short answer is it will be kind of tight, but you could probably make it work. I leave the seat out bc it takes room and isn't necessary and also zip up the cockpit cover AFTER I'm in the boat and it seems to work out OK. I"ve taken it out for 2-3 hours and been fine. I honestly don't know what other kayak I'd recommend. One reason I got this was at 10 feet long, it was among the longest inflatables I found.

Hi Ryan, I have only used our boats in a bay. With a little current the boat holds up well. I would be a bit concerned with the the loop that holds the oars with stronger current. Otherwise, I am very happy with the boats. Sorry I can't help you...

I've got a Minn Kota 45 thrust on mine. Now I'm not pushing wakes,but it's tons faster than the oars. Mine is also front mounted not rear, to offset the battery weight and it's easier to steer as well

Not sure about bike carriers. I am using mine with Malone Kayak carriers and it works fine, just need to make sure they are tighten down well.

Okay, I can't answer for that particular rack, you would have to check the length of the bars against the width of your rack.I *can* say that there was *not* a great deal of excess length, and that's just how I wanted it!!The other thing I can state is that the straps for strapping down a canoe or other object, are MUCH more effective than any other mounting straps that I have every used!! I was really impressed... I probably could get away without tying down the bow and stern, though I still tie down the bow for my own re-assurance.

I believe it is good up to low 100s hp. You need to go to the next one up for 200HP. Check Sea Stars web site the have information on all outboards and what fits what normally. They are helpful o the phone too. Call and leave a message for tech support and they actually call back. Hope this was helpful. Capt. Jack Boender

Hello Stacey, can you advise if you bought this cargo dog gate? I also, have an Odyssey and need a barrier ASAP for our Shiloh. I hope you see this and will reply! If someone other than Stacey has this same one and has an Odyssey or Sienna, pls reply as well! I need to know how it fits and the durability or other problems, if any. Thank you. =)
