Kayak Storage

[Rob929]

Those both look ideal.. hopefully someone who has used them or something similar can weigh in..

Harbor freight tools sells a similar hoist system, but its made for bicycles, and so I am not sure if it has the weight capacity for a kayak (it was something around $10 or $15 though.. Or, they also sell pulleys etc seperately if you feel like being handy and rigging something up yourself.

My yak is sitting on the floor too right now, so I will be watching the comments on this one. I have put it on the wall on heavy duty large wall hooks from home depot. They come padded, I use them for surfboards as well.

Its always good to support the local shops and the people that bring you BWE as well...

I second talking to the OEX guys! Drew at OEX/Oceanside helped me identify what works best for storing my kayak.

I made one at the house that works good. Only problem is the kayak is never idle enough to be put away.

This looks cool.. but how would I attached this to the yak? Would I have to buy this plus some other hardware?

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I would go with a wall mount one, but I have a tandem car garage.. so its kind of a narrow garage.

I found this cool system at HF...it is in the sporting good section..$12.99 (need 2) or just by the pulleys, hooks, rope and clips...this way is cheaper
