Wife and I wanted some Kayaks to use on our Arizona Mountain lakes. No river running , just paddling around the Beautiful white Mountain lakes. My truck bed is usually full of stuff so could not haul in it , could buy a rack and put on top of the truck , but found an easy way to go. To my surprise both kayaks fit in Hi-lo , when I get to campsite , just take out and store by trailer. when I let the Hi-Lo down I had about 3 or 4 inches to spare before the roof came down on them. Both Kayaks are under 9 feet , if they had been any longer it would not have fit.
