I would suggest only 2 crossbars, though. With three, your kayak will alway be bent in some direction. Also, I's recommend some kind of triangulation. Perhaps a diagonal brace between the fron and back uprights. Maybe even a cable from a corner down into the bed in an out of the way spot. I would also add corner braces, and use pressure treated wood.
