You might want to try a couple of those pool floats called "noodles".
Basically a long foam tube you can bent.
I load a pram into the bed of my pickup "solo" using these.
(Every time I go fishing, someone will always ask if I need some help loading or unloading the boat.)
I space 4 of them along the bed of the truck, lift the boat on to the gate, lift and push. These foam tubes roll in easily, and provide cushion underneath. I also put one (bent in half) behind the stern of the boat to prevent it from hitting the cab.
Tie it down, and you're good to go.
