16' Yak Transport-Pick Up Truck - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I will be upgrading to a new 16' kayak this month and don't think I am going to be comfortable hanging it out the back of the bed with the bed extender any longer. Looking for input on what works well for this length kayak:

Truck: Toyota Tundra Dbl Cab-Standard Bed

I was thinking of going with one roof rack on top and then a hitch mounted Goal Post for the rear. I don't want permanent racks on the bed as I use it often to haul my quad, bikes, etc.

As far as the mounts go.....do the wheel roller type make it easier to load? Do they cause "dents" in the hull more than the saddle type? Looking for input like this from other so I can hopefully make the right purchase the first time.

Thanks,
Steve
