: Todd, Why not build your own. It's easy to make a couple of

Yeah; this is exactly what I was thinking. It's easy enough to build the boat carriers to fit the boats, and the cross pieces out of steel or aluminum tubing. It's the risers that would bolt to the topper that require some thought......
