Sick of loading it up the hard way. Wanted to see if anyone on here was willing to part with a pair before I go drop 110 bucks on new ones. Thanks.

Im not exactly happy with my hully rollers, they don't seem to really help that much. Im considering going to saddles up front and back. The rollers don't really roll that well anymore, that plus the kayal does not sit as nicely on them as it does on the saddle. Ive noticed when loading the Pungo ( a really light kayak) the wheels roll somewhat ok, but when I put the thresher up they don't like to roll at all, and that rubber on rollers is kinda grippy so it actually makes it harder to load. Those are just my two cents on the rollers. I would sell you mine or trade for a set of saddles, but the issue with that is I use them all the time and would have no way to haul yaks while swap is happening.

i've use Hullys and they do help, couple of things you have to consider....

- it takes alittle more effort to get the kayak on the rollers, theyre are just a little higher, when you try and get the kayak between the rollers...

- because the bar is round, they tend to shift and swing forward or backwards when put on or taking off the kayak. ( i actually put a secondary metal plate underneath and changed the twist noobs to bolts/nuts. also went stainless).

- also, when you crank down on the strap, they tend to indent on you hull if you dont position them on a seam....

I dont use them now (dont kayak enough)... they also make more wind noise....

and on my jeep, it wont fit in my garage....

definitely dont go rollers front and back.. makos work just fine up front... in fact, using makos both front and back work great when theyre wet!!!


I have a set of "used" Hully's (i own 2) that I will let go for $50....

if you can spare at least $450 it surely will ease your life for good. Invest on Hullavator. I got two for my two hobies and it is great

Does anybody have any experience with the Thule Slipstream or slip and glide?
