Question, what is the "stuff" you need for three boats? If its saddles, rollers, cradles and whatnot, just skip it and just strap the boats down direct to the cross bars. If you feel like babying the boats a little more I've seen pool noodles or foam canoe saddles on the bars.

: If you have a tow bar hookup, you could put a rack on that and a
: cheap rack on the cab. You might want to check out Barrecrafters
: or some of the companies that make ladder racks. I don't have a
: cap on my p/u and I use ladder racks with the foam kayak saddles
: taped to the cross bars and then the yaks strapped down to the
: cross bars. I have seen a lot of p/u's with caps and a ladder
: rack on top. Good luck.
