06/27/2022 10:21AM   I bought this Carrico rack (trailer and watercraft are not included) to transport my fleet of kayaks, BWCA canoes, and SUPs up north (BWCA, Ontario, and NW Wisconsin) for my family and friends. It carries up to six watercraft and is made of aluminum. The stock arms were about 10" too short for my Northstar Northwind 17 canoe so I extended them with wooden rods and covered them with garden hose to minimize marring on the gunnels. See Craigslist posting for actual photos: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bpo/d/minnetonka-kayak-sup-canoe-rack-for/7501787638.html As shown in one of the photos in the eBay Carrico listing (link below), some people add bikes on the first level. With four U-bolts, it simply attaches to the frame on the underside of a trailer. The cross-beam that connects the towers provides additional support and is supposed to be optional however I always use it. It has been stored outside so it is a little dirty, thus the "good" rating vs. "excellent". I permanently injured my leg several years ago so my paddling expeditions up north are over. Luckily, I can still ride a bike so I am making the transition to land adventures. Selling price: $450 (no trailer or watercraft :) ) Carrico Price New (pre-sales tax): ~$1,000 (including shipping) Carrico eBay Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333608185361 My apologies in advance for the following "small print": - If this listing is up, the item is still available. I will not reply to inquiries asking if this item is still available. - Personalize your reply so it can be distinguished from bots etc. - Local pickup and viewing, approximately five minutes west of the I494 South/I394 interchange. - Cash payment via Venmo or Zelle. If paper cash is only option, we can meet at Wells Fargo in Wayzata to verify authenticity of bills. Thank you.
