Thule Hull-a-port

External Since: Mar 26, 2004 Posts: 2

The new 2004 Thule Hull-a-port rooftop rack is designated by the model
number 835xt, as opposed to the older 835. I have been unable to
discern what features may have changed, or what the "xt" signifies.
Can anyone help with this? I would also like to hear how Hull-a-Port
owners feel, when using them for sea kayaks. Thanks.

As near as I can tell from the 835xt I just got, they added front/back
attachment lines with a ratchet hook for easy tie-down. Doesn't seem
worth the extra $20-$30 for those lines.
