All, I'm very happy with my Yakima #300 gutter mounts, $76.50, with #LB65 load bars, $31.50. They are installed on #542 artificial rain gutters, $39.50. I used 1 1/2 sets, ie three bars (not reflected in above prices). The rear one is mounted as far back and as high as I could get it, with a piece of loose-rolling pvc pipe over the bar. This way I can just lean my boat up against the rear of the van and then slide it on up. Not that it's as easy as it sounds, but it works OK.
