Rather than poke holes in the roof and have lift a kayak up there, why not go with an inflatable? We have one of these:

Our son gave us one of those a few years ago. We also have two sit in kayaks, we actually get better gas mileage using our kayaks on a slant in the back of the truck.
Now we want to bring our favorite kayak,
our tandem Hobie.
BTW that is not a picture of us lol
It's only 2 feet larger than our cheapo sit ins, so if we move the bikes out of the truck, we should have room, but I was just considering other options.
