Hey guys. I just got a 23 Onyx Outback. I currently kayak fish with a buddy and we both have Hobie Outback kayaks. I’m concerned that the factory cross bars are too flimsy. Both kayaks together are about 165lbs. Typically one is flat on the rack while another is on a J rack.

I was looking and the options from Thule but they just mount to the existing cross bar in the stowed position. Doesn’t seem like it’s really an upgrade over stock.

The Yakima skyline towers seem like a better design with removing the factory cross bar but their weight rating is 165lbs as well. These also spread the bars at 30 inches apart which is better.

Does anyone have any experience with these systems? Am I ov

Hey guys, I’m seeking some career advise and hopefully this is ok to post here. I’ve been wrenching for about 22 years, mostly independent shops but a few dealerships along the way. I’ve never particularly enjoyed the job but it was something I was good at and I just kind of accepted that it’s what I do. Life happened and next thing you know it’s 20 years later.

Mentally and physically it’s just really getting to me anymore. The wear and tear on my body, the toxic workplace along with the state of the industry have me in a bad place. I look for jobs and I just have zero interest.

I have to change something and was looking for any input from people that made a change. What did you go to?

Hey guys I am considering my first PRS. I am looking for versatility. I have a Strat and Les Paul but I’m tired of the tuning issues on the Les Paul and haven’t really bonded with it. I was considering a Special but then the Studio came out. My nearest dealer doesn’t have either and I’d hate to buy one without playing. Part of me wants the two humbuckers of the special but I don’t have any experience with the narrow fields. I’m just looking for opinions on these. I guess even finding a Modern Eagle V is also an option.

Hey guys just checking in. I have a 21 Hobie Outback on order and it should be in in a few weeks. I am coming out of a 20’ bass boat, I’ve never even been in a kayak so I am going off the deep end here. I was just looking for any advise or accessories I should look into.

Being in southeast PA, most of our waters are restricted for gas engines so switching to a kayak from a BassCat just seems to make more sense. I don’t tournament fish and it will allow me access to more water. I thought of just buying cheaper but after seeing the Hobie in person I could tell the quality and design was good. I decided to buy right once.

Coming from a bass boat I had endless space for gear. I don’t necessa
