The 848 Hull-A-Port XT is Thule's premium vertical kayak carrier. The vertical support folds down with one hand for aerodynamic efficiency and to greatly improve overhead clearance while not in use.

Carry up to two kayaks due to the dual position design that transforms from a J-cradle to two boat stacker position.

This carrier attaches to the widest range of roof rack cross bars thanks to the tools-free FlipFit mounting hardware. For those seeking a cleaner, more integrated attachment, the Hull-A-Port Aero includes square-headed bolts for T-track load bar mounting on Thule's AeroBlade, AeroBlade EDGE, and the Thule Xsporter truck rack.

Lock cylinder housings are built into each carrier, just plug in Thule's lock cylinders to provide a strong thief deterrent for the carriers. Thule also offers 10-foot locking straps to extend the security to the kayak as well, sold separately, see related products.

The maximum load specified in the assembly instructions is not to be exceeded. However, this limit is always subordinate to the maximum load recommended by the manufacturer of the car itself.
