I want to buy 3 sit-in Kayaks for Xmas. I have a 2004 Pontiac Montana extended cab mini van with a factory rack. Inside width between rack bars is 38". Outside width of bars measures 41 1/2." Can I carry the three kayaks? What is the best way to go?

The rack will probably hold the size but weight will be the issue. I have two sit on top boats and a tandem kayak. The sit on tops weigh 60lbs plus and the tandem weighs 70lbs plus. The capacity of my rack is 125 lbs. on my Honda accord. The only way to take the 3 boats is to take 2 cars. You may ne able to increase capacity with a hitch mount rack to help out the roof rack. Hope this helps.
