We have used the Thule 830 Stacker on our jeep grand cherokee with factory roof rack for about 6 years. They work great for our two Necky 13 footer manitous.

At first we used straps on bow and aft as well as to the car top racks, but now we do not as they ride very secure with no slippage.

But for our very usable boats they have been just fine. Enjoy the boats. Jim
