Roof Rails/Rack

I am having a hard time finding rails for the roof of my F350 CC King Ranch. Has anyone sought the same? Have you found any?

Help in this would be appreciated

Thanks

Wayne, you trying to mount that new boat? Try a truck accessory shop, many listed in this area.

MOC ADMIN, Thanks for putting this in the correct thread. I overlooked this thread.
===========

I have talked to van conversion place, RV conversion places, dealers, truck accessories - you name it, and the all say that there isn't one for the f340. Well darn, how about one for any other van or SUV that can be modified to fit the F350. Duh! They don't know.

Jim, Yup! want to carry it on the roof of the truck, but might have to have a 11 foot box, 25 inches wide by 5 inches hight built under the trailer for when I'm towing.

Wayne, I saw an article on the web about an underbelly box for that boat, like you suggested. Any possibility of a roof mount? Don't know if that is possible.

I'd like to see that underbelly article. I'll search for it and see if I can find it.
Yes, there is a mounting system that you can get for the folding boat. It will mount on the side of the RV or the roof if you have room. I'm afraid of the roof for several reasons. None of them are a fear of heights. One has to do with my big body climbing a ladder at it's maximum limit. Don't tell the wife as she'll put me on a diet. I also don't like putting more holes in the roof than are already there. That drip, drip, drip on my head at night would give me a headache, and other reasons.

I did find a Thule rack that will work. It's the 400XT Aero plus some other hardware. No permanent installation. Works like a vise. I found it out by calling Thule. They were extremely helpful. The underbelly is the way I would really like to go.

Thanks
