I have limited space in my garage so I store my PA 14 on it's side hanging from two straps connected to the wall and lift it about a foot off the floor with the bottom against a carpet attached to the wall. Works great and is out of the way.

So are the both of you laying your PA's right side up?

Right side up. The thing I like about the pool noodles is the even weight distribution. You don't get any areas that could potentially warp under its heavy weight.

When I first purchased my PA I thought I was going to be able to get away with just storing on the garage floor. Wellllllll, about a week later I got tired of moving it around so I decided to setup a hoist/winch system.
I purchased all of the parts at Home Deport, if I recall I paid under $100 for everything. None of the items that I purchased have a test load of less than 155lbs.

I forgot to add that I tested the load of each strap(bow & stern) with a spring scale. I setup the scale, lifted the kayak off the floor and the total weight measured roughly 60lbs per strap.

Hobie website gives recommendations for storing your kayak It is in the manual for the PA
http://static.hobiecat.com/digital_a...ual-140325.pdf I keep mine on a raised twin bed frame about two feet off the ground. the frame has wheels I can roll it around the garage if I need to. I have plywood next to the wheels to keep the peddle, seat, bait tank to keep the weight down so the plastic does not deform. I roll it right next to my truck and slight it on to the truck bed. |
