Unless the saddles are padded up properly, they will point load the bottom of any ski. You are better off putting the ski on upside down on a pair of foam pads, or try and find the old TLC saddles from Yakima. |

For the same reason as mentioned below. With 20 foot boats, and the new cars having racks designed for bicycles it wouldn't be hard to see 8 feet of boat in front of the support. Larry B |

They were designed to help get wider and heavier boats on your rack, not cradle it. I have been a Yakima dealer for 14 years and will not sell them for any high performance boat. You are better off spending 20 bucks for a pair of pads rather than over 100 for something that will do nothing but damage you boat. |

| - | I'm working on a spagetti injection lay-up, bonded with marinara sauce. This will be done dry-bagged, so we can lay-up the noodles just right. The sauce to noodle ratio will be about 31.7%, and the taste will be, dare I say, spectacular. Think Lasagne, coming in 09!\\ | + | |

| - | Yeah right! Chinese Marinara? Ya been goin' too heavy on that Green Tea over there Daryl. Hmmm, actually a Green Surfski - like Bamboo cloth and some sort of kinda planet friendly epoxy (?) - sort of 'outta the box' nouveaux but could be fun. Mike. | + | |
