Roof Rack - Kayak mounting

Has anyone mounted (or can you?) double kayak racks? so you can put two on the roof? Weight wouldn't be an issue, as each weighs about 49 pounds. I think it would have to be the Yakima Hullraiser or the Mini brand one, but not sure if there's enough horizontal distance for two.
(it's a 2014 CM if that makes a difference, I don't think the roof has changed at all since the first one though)
thanks

I have two Malone folding racks on top of the factory rails. Had to get longer mounting bolts, and I demeled out some of the bracing on the bottom of the rack in order to make them sit flush on the fat rails. On my phone now, I can send a few pics later from my computer. Don't forget an extra tow hook for the bow and stern lines!

I have a 10.5 and a 12ft.

I've got two sets of Hullraisers sitting on my OEM base bars. Work great, no problem fitting two on there. We take our two Precision kayaks up to northern MI (2-3 hours on freeways) every chance we get.

Have fun!
