Thule still sells the short roof line adapters.  I have one on my '94
toyota Celica and it works pretty well for my Acadia which is a short boat
12.5 ft).  The spread between the front and back bars is a little less than
two feet and I have the kayak saddles on the rack.

I have a Pygmy Coho kit which I'll probably start on next month when it's
not so bloody hot in my garage.  Does anyone have any thoughts on car
toping that bad boy with a bar spread that short?  I've been considering
buying a utility trailer.  will I need one to haul the Coho?
