What Steve thinks......
The Rhino Rack S510 is a great choice for a budget J-Cradle kayak carrier. Personally I think the folding version is worth the extra dollars. However, if you are on a budget then the S510 gives the best bang for your buck with the cradles and all the tie down straps you need to get your kayak on your racks.
