RE: [Paddlewise] kayak rack- pick up?

I ran into a guy a couple months ago who had created a kayak rack for
his pickup just like you described, and it seemed to work great.  In
additional, he made a couple plywood cutouts that matched the cross
section of his hull, bolted these to the front and back cross bars, and
covered them with carpet for padding.
