Hi Bryan,

I totally agree, our local dealer also has a concession at a local park and rents (and demo's) boats constantly in season. The Yakima's never break and all the plastic ones need replacement occasionally. Downside is the Yak's are heavier. I also use them and save weight in other places, once you one time have to change them in a finished boat you really don't wanna do it again
