Kayak Lift Assist Options

[LivinTheDream]

I am among those who are not getting younger. I purchased a Hullivator last Fall and really love it. I get a lot of amazed looks when my Hobie Compass seemingly shoots up onto the roof of my Toyota Sienna. I compiled a list with some links of other options for a friend recently and thought some here might find it helpful too, so here you go:

Thule Hullivator

With clever use of your cart.

Yakima ShowBoat66 roller assist. Demo

Yakima ShowDown Lift Assist Demo

Rhino T-Load.

Rhino Universal Side Loader

Rhino Nautic Kayak Lifter

Nice post, Bill.

I also have a Sienna and I use the Showboat 66.

It requires an initial lift of the bow to the roof of the Sienna (which is taller than most sedans), but once I get my boat to that point, the roller takes on much of the weight and the boat slides easily into position.
