Need a roof rack. Suggestions

[Hogsticker2]

My brother got himself a Mirage Pro Angler 12. He drives a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. Looking for suggestions on a good roof rack for that Yak, and where to find it. Thanks

Its going to be pretty difficult to put a PA on the roof of that car....that is one HEAVY ass boat. I use a Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Its extremely quiet and very easy to install.

Thule Hullavator

Not cheap but it will work and he will be thankful for it. Friend of mine used one to get his PA on top of his suburban

What year is the car? At 120lb, it is definitely the heaviest boat by far (outside of the PA 14 and fully loaded torque) and although it won't be very easy....it is doable. Go to yakima and thule websites and fit your car using the provided fit guide. Thule are generally easier to install but I do like the round bars that yakima comes with. It has its advantages. The Hullavator is a great add on and works damn well but is not a rack system. Its a load assist contraption that greatly aids in kayak transport. Both brands offer great support, products, and cost about the same. Both rack systems also offer boat loaders which help one person trying to load a kayak and they are simple and work well. Ive owned and worked on just about every rack system there is to offer and am currently running a yakima system over my cab and a thule system in the bed.
