Default Feedback on my homebrew roofrack

What about carrying it upside-down, directly on the Subaru's

I tried that, but the seats stuck down enough to put pressure onto the
roof of the car. I'd have to somehow strap them into the down
position, which can be done, but then it brings up the issue that
since it's a long open cockpit, the boat is only supported by the edge
of the cockpit, which isn't very rigid either. A smaller cockpit on a
single would have more deck area and that'd probably work. Maybe
something like my current idea, but with no straps in the center,
which would lift the boat higher to give clearance for the seats, and
support the boat by its deck.
