Does anybody know if the Yakima "Bowdown" racks work well with the Outback hull? I'm looking to transport the outback sideways so that I can fit a Yakima Skybox up top too. Any info or recommendations would be great!!!! Thanks!!!

I'm not speaking from experience but from the info I have collected...most people said storing and transporting upside down creates less of a chance for the hull to warp. I don' know if that helps you out, Josh.

Need a question answered. So we are getting ready to puirchase a 2nd yak. Not much room on top of camper shell for 2 yaks laying flat. I found some Yakima hullraisers on CL. Does anybody if these work on the outback hull. I do not want to by them just to find out they wont work.

They will work. Just make sure you run bow and stern lines. I'm not sure they're ideal for the hull design but they should work just fine.
