I have a shiny car that i don;t want to scratch too bad, and I'm just too lazy to lift my boat over my head when i load it alone, so i use one of these. Makes life a little easier.
get to the gym and start doing shoulder presses!!
depends on the person, and what vehicle. if you can do it on the grass, you won't scratch the kayak too much if you prop up one end on the vehicle and then lift the back up.
watch out for windy days though...yikes, that will mess you up.
there are roof loaders of different types that would help:

Depending on whether you are just throwing your boat in the back of your trick or onto a rack there are a few different options. For the rack there are the expensive Thule and Yakima side loaders, and some cheaper Malone options that include suction rollers and extension bars.
One of the simplest items is just the simple pole with a bracket on top. Something you could easily make yourself. An example of one would be: https://www.amazon.com/Rhino-Rack-Universal-Loader-Kayaks/dp/B00C2Q3I72
With the pole you just need to get the front of your boat up onto the pole bracket and then you pick the back up and slide it over.
