You can figure out which Yakima or Thule setup you need on their respective websites, then peruse the for sale thread for the "towers" that will fit your ride. There is also a cheaper option that uses straps to attach to your roof, but certainly not the best option. OMTC is a good resource for new SOT's.

OMTC was the right place to go :) I now own a 10 ft perception pescador And we managed to get it on my jeep using foam blocks w/ straps . Turn out Yakima only makes racks for my jeep that go onto factory raised side rails ..... I don't have those so I think a cheaper route might be just converting a jet ski trailer into a boat hauler

I have an 08 liberty and had a similar problem. There is no good factory set up. If you remove the side rail you will find 8 threaded bolts. I had a rack made at a welding shop that attaches to the 8 bolts. Total investment $450.
