If money isn't an issue, check out the Thule Hullavator. All you have to do is get the yak about waist-high. A buddy of mine had this on his truck rack and it was sweet.

Another option you can go with is the Thule Slipstream. I have it on my Acura RDX and it makes loading and unloading my Pro Angler easy. I have it mounted on my factory crossbars.

I think this would be my best option. Can you load your kayak upside down with this? And how much did you pay for yours? Thanks!

the cheapest Thule Slipstream I found online was $216 but I'm gonna try finding a used one first.

YouTube has a bunch of videos about loading Kayaks, and many other Kayak related things. Most of all be safe and careful. No need to hurt yourself while loading and unloading.
