Yeah, I wasn't referring to you using a bike rack on the rear hitch, but instead was referring to being able to use the hitch for a trailer and also hooking up a cargo carrier. I haven't run my hitch haul with a boat, but if a dual bike carrier clears above the trailer hitch so should a cargo carrier...

I made that one, but I have to admit I didn't "invent" it, I got the idea from one I saw online at e-trailer.com. I just had happened to have the materials here, Cut down an 18" hitch extender I had (which is the bottom piece you see in the pic) and I had bought a 8' length of 2" square steel for another hitch related project and had like 5' leftover. You can tell it's home made if you look real close at the pic as the bottom is powdercoated and the two uprights and upper hitch are primed and painted with black Rustoleum...
This is the one I saw on etrailer.com that gave me the idea:
