So far, it's great. Was easy to install and is holding a Hobie Outback.
Easy to install and holds our kayak perfectly
I was a little unsure about these brackets but figured I'd give them a try. They went up easily and they are very strong and durable. I mounted mine on a sea wall for storing a pedal kayak and it's perfect. I store the kayak with the bottom facing outward so it can tilt inward to keep the leaves, rain and dirt out of the kayak. The brackets work just as well with the Kayak facing in or out whereas some of the others are shaped so the a kayak only fits well when it is facing upward (sitting side facing out away from the wall). That's fine if indoors but if outside it fills with rain water and all manner of nasty crap. Again, very happy with these mounting brackets.
We bought 2 sets for a couple of the kayaks we have at our cottage. It took us all of 45 minutes to install them once we decided where to locate them on the wall. We added the quick disconnect brackets so we could remove the kayak holders when ever necessary. The hardware is of decent quality and the paint looks like it will hold up well. Let's hope so because of the salty environment they're up against.
I had purchased less expensive support bars first and they ended up bending to the kayak weight. These bars are very sturdy and longer, making it easier to get the kayaks on them. Very happy with this purchase.
