Q: I have a Hyundai Tuscon 2005 with roof side racks and Yakima cross bars presently using the Malone system Kayak racks. Will two the Hull a Vator kayak systems fit on my car?

A: Yes! The Thule Hullavator will work on your Yakima cross bars. The only thing you should be aware of is that you need 4 to 8 inches of bar overhang, which you probably don’t have with the crossbars recommended for your vehicle in the Yakima Fit Guide. When the Hullavator is in the down position, it will make contact with the side of your car if not mounted far enough outboard.

Hullavator carries a boat up to 32 inches wide, and the Tucson tapers out quite a bit from the roof to the doors, so I’d go with a 66 inch cross bar, get both racks set up so as not to bang into your car, then trim the excess bar with a hacksaw.

Customer install photo of a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe roof rack rowing shell rack system for transporting a rowing scull to and from the water. It is configured using the Thule 460 Podium roof rack system (includes Thule 460 Podium Foot pack, Thule 3024 Fit Kit, and Thule Load Bars) with the Thule 997 GoalPost hitch mounted rack with 58" Load Bar.

You don’t want to mess around when you’re transporting a fine rowing scull, so this 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe roof rack rowing shell carrier uses three crossbars for optimum support.  On the roof is the Thule 460 Podium roof rack system which mounts to the factory fixed mounting points found on the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe roof top.  The Thule 460 Podium car rack system uses a set of Thule 460 Podium feet, the Thule 3024 Fit Kit, and a pair of Thule 50″ Load bars and is locked down with the Thule 544 lock pack.  For additional stability for longer loads such as a rowing scull, canoe, or kayak, the Thule 997 GoalPost hitch rack is added, which mounts into a 2″ trailer hitch receiver and supports a 58″ Load Bar.  The Thule 997 Goalpost hitch rack can be adjusted up or down so that the load bar can be leveled with the load bars on the roof.  For added security, the Thule STL 2 Snug-Tite Lock is incorporated, which locks the Thule 997 Goalpost into the reciever. 

The only suggestion we might make is instead of using foam noodles to support the rowing shell on the load bars, we would use a set of kayak saddles, such as the 878XT Set-t0-Go kayak saddles, which would do an even better job of ensuring that this fine rowing scull gets to the water without a scratch.
