Transport woes - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So, I have been lugging my stealth 14 all over the place in my sport Trac using a bed extender I picked up from oex. All good. Now, however, the girlfriend is getting a 13 or 14 ft. kayak, and I am in a bit of a pickle. I have a tough time roof loading due to injury, and the sport Trac bed isn't wide enough for 2 hulls to lie flat. I was just going to loose my tonnnau cover and angle them in, but I don't want to damage either the kayaks or the truck. Any suggestions? I am not really hot on the idea of a trailer, and spending 1000 for 2 HullavAtor systems seems excessive. Can J type racking be installed in a truck bed? Any other thoughts (besides making her lug her own yak about

)?
