The way I do it may sound a bit odd but it works great. I purchased and mounted a bolt-on "Class III" hitch for the front (yes, front) of my Silverado. To that I mount a Yakama "Dry Dock". Over the cab I mount a single Yakama Cross Bar using Yakama "Q Towers". I place the bar over the front seat of the cab but it can be adjusted to fit the length of your boat(s). On top, I mount and secure 2, Wilderness System "The Ride" 'yaks measuring 13'. Have been doing this since about 2004 and the system works great. If you'll send me an email addy through the PM system, I'd be pleased to send you some pictures. I have also put together a rope system that allows me to very quickly load and secure either one or both of our 'yaks in the bed of the truck for use when we are not pulling the "5th". I am able to do this without having to remove the 5th Wheel hitch.
Happy Camping!
