Garbage - don't waste your time and money

"Pro": looks good in the photo, the armrests for the kayak hands seem very soft. "Cons": Everything else. First, it was late. Next screws complete crap. I attached the support arm and one of the bolts broke in half, very cheap. This wouldn't be a huge problem if it weren't for the bolt securing the welded nut in the arm and there was no way to remove the broken part. Terrible design. I was thinking of drilling just the broken part and putting a screw that went through the entire lever part, which would be much better in the first place, so I decided to put that part aside and assemble the other side. I take out the other leg and find that the screws that were supposed to be welded fell off. There is no way to attach them unless I buy a machine to weld them back on. It's just not worth trying to make it work when you're spending that kind of money on something that has broken parts and parts that were welded are falling off. Now I have to wait another two weeks to get the kayak holder I needed a few days ago. The worst thing is that trying to put this item back in the box is frustrating and doesn't fit. AAARCH. All in all, if I could give this piece of shit a negative star I would. Too much time was spent putting it together and then it was painful to take everything apart. It had so much potential but the manufacturer cut corners, used cheap materials and couldn't seem to deliver it on time. Best of all, Revane is making a comeback.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Legacy model
