Just bought a Equinox kayak with very large solo opening of 51" long by 25"1/2 wide at large end. What do you recommend? The 60/23?

I don't know what the sizes are, but I order one with dimensions that were close to the opening size and it fits well.

I went out and took a look at 10 ft the cover on my wife's kayak. Her kayak is about 10' and 28" wide and a higher than 9". You will not have an issue with width or depth. There is about 5" of play on the length. I think you would be ok but, I'd check with the manufacturer before you purchase.

I have a Sunny Brook Sunset Creek 279 and bought 3500 get the big one. It would take very little fileing to make it fit if the hole is to small.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

A single kayak should be OK. I tried two and the bars flex too much and pushed the ends out so much they would not stay tight in the roof grooves. Anything more then that and I'd spend more for a better quality rack. It's cheap but gets the job done with limitations

As others said, the width should be ok, but how long are your kayaks? I found that 18-19' is the max sweet spot lengthwise for this trailer. Also, if you just have the two kayaks and are worried about the width, you can always order this trailer with the saddle or v-style carriers for 2 kayaks.

For your height, you would probably be good with a 220cm to 230cm depending on the width of your kayak.

Get a 2X4 the length of your kayak's width. Cut multiple slots in it and run the straps through. More slots you cut more loops you can make. Make the farthest slots the width of your kayak. The two slots near center where straps exit should be 5 inch apart. Shopped HomeDepot for something ready made. Shelving ,grills. Don't trust those wire weldings. Keep the strap around kayak loosely so you can get the straps on and off easily.I received my hoist this week. Install is a cinch if you follow youtube video for a competitor brand. The ropes are low quality. Easily frayed. Get a 2X4 the length of your kayak's width. Cut multiple slots in it and run the straps through. More slots you cut more loops you can make.

If you go to the Harmony Gear site click on the cock pit cover and there should be a fit guide. Sizing of the cover is based on the manufacture of the kayak and the model.

You need to measure the width between your roof rack rails where attachment of this carrier can be mounted. Then add up your kayaks width to make sure you have sufficient room. The seawing is pretty wide. I got one on my rack (mounted in the middle) then needed two side mount carriers to get the other two kayaks up on top. Total weight of all kayaks was a concern. Make sure you check with the manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed the roof rack capacity. Like the SeaWing though, Real simple to install and use. A bit of movement (flex in the wing) while driving takes some getting use to. Malone was real nice to deal with.

PS don't skimp on the tie downs. use the bow and stern ropes as well as the straps no matter what system you use. Overkill is better than having a kayak fly off on the highway and causing an accident!

If the question is specifically about the Old Town Vapor 10 I'd say I'm happy with my purchase. You don't need a lot of help if you want a good, reasonably priced kayak that is good on lakes. I'm over 6 foot and it is comfortable for me but I sometimes put in an extra seat cushion. It comes with an anchor so all you need is a paddle and life vest. The only change I would make to it would be extra rod holders aft of the seating area instead of behind.

It hung WAY low. I modified the system by removing the hook from the pulley and bolting it to a 2x4, I attached the strap to the ends of the 2x4. It creates "D" shape with the straight part of the "D" being the 2x4 with the pulley,and the round part of the "D" being the strap shortened to fit snugly around your kayak. This mod took the kayak 30" closer to the ceiling.

Most certainly!!!!!! I have two 14 1/2 feet Necky sea kayaks. I have fit both of them in my 97 F150 with absolutely no problem. Money well spent for sure. I love not having to lift them so high!!

I would recommend a cart with a larger wheel base. Even with my kayak unloaded it can be a touch unstable on even normal terrain. A good cart but definitely would recommend a wider based cart for the sun fish

I have a 31" by 10 foot kayak, the front of the kayak is V shape an fits the wing well - the aft is more a flat bottom and contacts the outer edges of the wing only. I bought the Rhino 571 that adjust to the kayak bottom. Our second kayak is V shape front and rear - wing works Great!.

Google "Harmony Cockpit Cover Fit Guide" You will see a drop-down menu that lists all kayak brands and then another drop-down listing each model within the brand. That's how I figured this out for my Swifty 9.5 (size 44/21). Hope this helps.
