Hobie Outback Storage Stand -- Using a Heavy Duty Tool Stand - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just came into possession of a super nice 2015 Hobie Outback, the same one listed by Yakdout. Pretty stoked, I couldn't have done half as nice a job of rigging it as Brandon did. Really excited about having a boat again!

Anyway, I have the yak laying flat on the floor right now. I came across an older thread that suggested using a work stand like this one.

Any of you use something similar? Any issues with the hull deforming in any way?

Even tho it comes with foam cushions, I would probably replace them with thicker pool noodles.

One thing, though. I keep on coming across those recommendations that say outbacks should be stored hull up or on a J rack, but having the seat side up would probably be the most convenient thing and I would really prefer to try to store my yak this way if its not really going to affect the hull.

On an unrelated note, I'm thinking I would really like to try to get out in SD Bay this Saturday or Sunday and try to find some Halibut. Any of you up for that?
