I got a Thule Kayak rack for $50.00 (also on sale at the time I bought my Kayak) I don’t think that’s a lot of money for what you get. L.L.

Length is the biggest variable, sit-in or sit-on, after that it’s just options. Flatwater lake and river. I used to use my uncles’ kayak all the time when I had a camp on the schroon river, that was a blast.
