We had boat racks on our 99 Hawk and never used them. It seemed too much of a hassle to take the boat off every time you wanted to erect the camper. Also you need to be camped very close to the
water if you want to use the boat because it is not easy to move any great distance. We tried the little attachable
wheels on the boat but they are as good as useless in soft sand. Currently we have a Custom Boat Loader on the 4x4 and it couldn't be easier. You back up to the
water's edge, unload the boat one handed, attach the motor and away you go. This also allows you to get into many more good fishing spots than is possible with the Jayco in tow.

From memory, a few years ago when looking at a Jayco eagle I seem to recall that the racks were an aftermarket accessory from Jayco.
If you are a bit handy you could make your own. They are only two cross bars.
I made my own for an old cub camper I had. I found carrying a boat in this manner an absolute PIA. It seemed to cause more domestics at set up and pack up time than it was worth.
Cheers
