Very nice!!

I was considering a dual kayak Harken hoist, like Honcho has.. but my Hobie is 14.5 ft, and no way would it fit in my standard garage. The kayaks would be too low, even at forehead height. I figured better to just make a rack that I can walk around, instead of INTO (and bang my head). The top rack has a cheapo roller I made out of PVC, which helps with loading it on top of my sedan. It's an ok solution. Footprint on my garage floor is about 10ft x 34in. If I could get my yaks all the way up to the ceiling, then I'd REALLY like your system. Very cool..

Yeah good utility on that one too though...I think as long as you can find a way to store em that makes moving em a bit easier when you need them and also lets you store and hang other stuff then you are in good shape.
