Questions & Answers
Yes. It's what I use for my Emotion Spitfire 120 tandem kayak. The dimensions are 36" x 12'. It really works. Mine is on a free-standing EZ Rack, but it would be equally at home on the wall.
In our box, there were two of them. For a 12 foot kayak, you only need to order one. Ours is fantastic; it's simple to install on the garage wall and is very stable. We don't use the Velcro straps very often because our canoe is so secure. I hope this information is useful.
I'm not sure how "deep" the outback is, but I use them for my Dragonfly Boatworks fishing SUP and they work great; just look at the Dragonfly website for the beam on that board; I'm not sure off the top of my head, but it's quite wide.
It would fit, but you'd have to pad the gunwales or the wall to protect them.
Selected User Reviews For Suspenz Big EZ Rack, Yellow ,30" x 26.5"
My husband and I purchased two sets of the Suspenz Big EZ Racks for our Wilderness System Pungo 120 kayaks and couldn't be happier with them. We chose the Big EZ Rack after reading both the EZ Rack and the Big EZ Rack information and product reviews. Our main concern was that the Pungo 120's, with their 29" width, would be too wide for the standard EZ Rack. When you open the box, you'll find two j hooks that can be mounted on the wall and four large screws for securing them to a stud. There are no extra parts or bonus pieces to assemble first, and we were pleased to discover that the hooks were lighter than expected. It's better if there's less weight on the wall. These hooks are extremely simple to install. My husband and I spent less than 30 minutes installing both sets of Big EZ Rack hooks. Our kayaks fit perfectly on the racks, and I would recommend them to anyone who owns a boat of similar size. I highly recommend this product and have included images of our mounted kayaks as well as the kayak specifications for reference. I hope this information is useful!.
I looked at a few of the less expensive ones, but the size and quality weren't adequate to support a large kayak. Two Suspenz Big EZ racks were ordered to be mounted on the side of my shop. A Jackson Coosa HD SOT fishing kayak is shown in the photo. The kayak is nearly 36 inches wide, 12 feet long, and weighs 90 pounds when fully loaded. The racks are excellent; I put each arm to the test by sitting on it; it held me up despite my weight of nearly 250 pounds. The square tube is more attractive than the round tube, and it is easier to install. I did have to drill an additional hole in the post to make it work with my shop's aluminum siding. For the price, the padding and straps are excellent. Padding isn't some flimsy foam insulation; it's a real upholstered pad that's already assembled. the installation The straps are long enough to handle a kayak that is even wider than mine, so you can't go wrong with them.
My boat, a Native Watercraft Propel, is a little over 13 feet long and weighs around 120 pounds. The Suspenz Big EZ is rated to hold up to 150 pounds, according to its description. So, we'll see what happens. I like how it conserves space in my garage and allows me to store items on the floor beneath my kayak. The installation was straightforward and simple, and the included screws appear to be of good quality. I read that some people stripped the screws out during installation, but I believe this was due to a poor performing drill as well as drilling at the incorrect speed and torque level. For the first time, I used my mighty fine DeWalt cordless drill (which I happened to purchase from Amazon), and the installation went without a hitch. I'll post an update if the unit falls out of my garage wall: For the time being, it was an excellent purchase.
My canoe is quite large, and it easily handles it. It's well-made, with a sturdy frame and plenty of padding. Installing it was a breeze. Suspenz makes a separate hanging bracket for only $10 that allows the entire rack to come off the wall when not in use (I didn't see it on Amazon, so I bought it later directly from the company). I purchased two sets of brackets in order to transport the canoe and main brackets between my home and my son's.
Loading and unloading has never been easier. It takes some planning (and possibly a temporary holder) to ensure that your boat is positioned correctly. Setting the boat on something at the desired height, then determining your drill points, is my recommendation. Overall, it's a fantastic experience. I'd prefer something other than bright yellow, but the boat hides that.
It was simple to mount on my wooden fence, keeping my canoe off the ground and looking well-kept. My canoe, which measures 15'6" long by 35" wide, easily fit. Because the canoe is exposed to the elements, I decided to lay it face down.
Although these are very sturdy, using them to store my fishing kayak for a month caused a large dent in the hull where the kayak was resting. I'd come back, but I'd missed the window by five days. I suppose it'll be back to the drawing board once I figure out how to remove this dent.
Mounted . After ordering them over a year ago, I finally got around to installing them. I built a brick wall around them on the outside of my house. They're incredible, even supporting our 75-pound weight. canoe for the beginner.
