Another issue for kayaks is how to transport. This is mine.....
Husky ladder rack, bought from Home Depot for $99. The cross bars are adjustable with pool noodles for padding. the top section is removable. The only modification was that I cut off about 4 " off the post so it wouldn't sit so high, makes loading alot easier

If the frame bolts together and you can get to the back cross bar then
could you put a bigger piece of pipe on the back bar so you can make a roller for the kayak to be able to roll the kayak up on the back to make it easier to load?

I have factory racks on my Expedition and I went to FTU and purchased some rack pads that attach by velcro. I carry my X-Factor upside down on the racks and straps across the yak at each rack. I have the stern and bow tied to both front and back and can insert a bike lock thru the scupper holes with a combination lock to lock it on the racks. That way I can load the night before and be ready to go when I get up in the morning.

I have a 06 tacoma truck with camper shell on the back, I have installed
yakima racks on the shell but max distance from front to rear
just under 5 feet . I have on order another set for the truck cab.

All of this for a Malibu II XL tandem. near 13 feet long. Ill take pics
and post here when I get it all installed and ready to go.
