My kids (girl and boy) each have a lifetime kayak like the one pictured below.

We are about to purchase a 2015 Limited S and where we go on the boat there are great places to kayak. The problem is trying to find room to transport these kayaks. I looked but couldn't find anyone creating racks for these that can be mounted to the bimini top. Has anyone see or have ideas during transport to get them out of the way.

Tie it up on the platform. Will create some wind resistance but, this is the best place I've found for short trips. My 10'6" SUP fits along side the helm, but gets in the way of passenger movement, access to the anchor etc.
 
I thought I had a pic of how I transport mine on my 192, but can't seem to find one. I just strap it down on the side opposite the SUP on top of the Bimini.
IMG_0790.JPG Seems pretty stable in decent chop (Lake Shelbyville on a Saturday afternoon), at least secure enough to get to the tie up area and back. I've also tied it off on the bow seating area from cleat to cleat as well. I do plan on coming up with some sort of rack/carrier for both either on top or side of the tower. Hopefully.
 
We keep an inflatable SUP and Kayak stored below one of the bow seats.
