I use a lumber rack to carry the Hobie.  Mine is a TracRac rack (a subsidiary of Thule).  They're a semi-great option for a well-made, strong and less expensive rack.

This is about the rack itself:

PROS: Very strong.  Quiet at highway speeds.  Made of aluminum.  Easy to install and remove.  No drilling necessary.  They've left no marks on the (black) siderails of the truck.

CONS: Thule accessories for carrying a kayak do NOT fit TracRac racks.  Easy to remove (parking-lot tweaker alert).  Maybe a wee bit taller than necessary.

I didn't care about the lack of carrier accessories.

About ladder racks:

They work great, but getting the kayak on and off can take some effort.  I have to clamber and scramble around to strap it down (your experience may be different).  I park on fairly level ground, side-to-side, when loading the kayak so it won't try to slide off the downhill side.

Bottom line for me was that ladder racks are strong and stable, it's not a lot more work to load the Hobie on the rack than it is to load it on a car-top carrier, the kayak is very secure even in the strong crosswinds along the Oregon coast, and they don't appreciably reduce my gas mileage (~2%).

Hope that helps.

I wonder if there are some kind of add-ons so i can attach hullavator to the tracrac? It’ll be much easier to load my kayak.
