Okay here's the deal. When I bought this Subaru, it's factory rack didn't fit my existing Thule Rack system. It was going to cost quite a bit to by the new towers and clamps to make my stuff work. That didn't happen and I was happy with just throwing my kayaks up there. It worked.
The pontoon boat however, is wider than the factory rack and as mentioned above, I don't want to wear the paint off. With your previously posted rack in mind, I went just a little further.
My nice neighbor had several pieces of 1/2" conduit and a tubing bender. I have made a rack that sits on top of the factory rack and basically widens what I already had. I'll post pics tonight after i get the SS screws and extra cam straps that are required.
