Eric,
It extended out over the hood and tilted down for loading/unloading.
I think this is key in your case. Get the front rack as far front as possible. "Some framing" you can stow up on the rack below the boat and pull out front, stays anchored at front crossbar and legs swing down. Height of legs dependent on hulls clearing the mirrors. Width of rail/frame set so axel of cat trax will ride down them. Going back up will take horsepower. Still a three man minimum job.
