Why this product
Why the Yakima BoatLoader EVO?
The BoatLoader EVO is a rear-loading roller that works with kayaks and canoes up to 80 lbs. The integrated roller lets you slide the boat from behind the vehicle up onto the crossbars without lifting it overhead. At 5.5 lbs in aluminum, it is one of the lightest load-assist options available. It is an accessory, not a full carrier — you still need saddles or J-cradles up front.
