lol in the garage....i just needed to be able to move them out when i am welding. i would be p.o.ed if i got hot slag on one of them........this just makes it faster to move them at the same time. i am thinking of putting down some plywood on the bottom, so i can put my milk crates, pfds, or other stuff.

NICE! Especially the wheels.

If you store them upside down it won't deform the hull.
Better keep an eye on it.

Say what???????? I never thought of that, should you always store them upside down? I am using a similar setup (92 is my brother, ) I didn't use wheels though mine sits on the ground and the top racks are my surfboards.

Billy makes a good point. Sometimes I set my kayak on some saw horses outside when working on a project. After sitting in the sun for a few hours the plastic gets soft enough for the bottom of the hull to take the shape of the flat sawhorse making a big dent in the bottom of the hull.

So far my yak as always returned to the appropriate shape when it cools down. I suspect that this could become a real problem for those kayaks stored deck side up in the sun for weeks or months.

It's amazing how fast they can deform. One weekend I had my yak sitting on the cart/wheels for about 3-4 hours while I did some work to it. when I went to load the yak on my truck I noticed that one side of the yak was deformed, it was right in the area where the yak came to sit on the cart. I managed to fix it by cutting a small block of wood and jamming in on the inside of the hull, left it like that overnight and it was fine in the morning. It was a warm weekend when this happened so I'm sure this was a factor.
