I just bought my Impex Mystic Kayak in glass/composite and the dealer reccommended the mako saddles over the J/bar.Cinched down I went at 70mph for an hour home.Then I read the reviews and freaked.I checked my boat for damage and there was none. I went back taking a chance and didnt notice any movemement other than the saddles flexing during the ride.Again no damage.I called and talked with Yakima nd they sent me 2 sets of anti scuff pads-free.Should be no problem now but there didnt seem to be one to begin with.I still like the way the canoes are faced down so I give this an 8.
