[quote=Edchris177]I suspended 2 Sea Kayaks from the ceiling at my Western place. It only has 8' ceilings, but the kayaks are not deep, & they are Kevlar, light.
Harken makes a system with small blocks, but I thought it was too expensive for what you got. The nice feature was the system had an automatic lock, if you let go of the line, (or kids undid it out of curiosity),the boat doesn't come crashing down.
I secured a loop of strap at one end, to slide the bow into. The stern loop was very loose, & adjustable. One person could lift the bow into the first loop, then lift the stern & slide the second over, then snug it up. It would be harder with a heavier 20' hull. Plus, if angled it might be a PITA to get it over the garage door rails.
When I first got the 5.7, (19') I considered slinging it from the ceiling, as the lakehouse house has 12' ceilings, & a 24x20 garage. It turned out to be way easier to stack them on a rack against one wall. I only stored it inside once, to much work to disassemble, then reassemble, though I probably would if the boat was painted vs gelcote.[/quote]
