Why this product

Why the Yakima HullRaiser?

The HullRaiser is Yakima's mid-range J-cradle with wide padded arms and a folding design. 80 lb capacity, included tie-down straps, 5 lbs. Carries one kayak on its side, folds flat for highway driving. Slots between the basic JayHook and the dual-position JayLow — a good pick if you want folding convenience without paying for dual-boat capability.
