I also live in the Lakeside area and all I have done for years is to just lean my yak on its side in the garage. Have never had any problems with it losing it's shape or warping or anything.

Good to know. I read the X Factors owners manual and it got me worrying about how to store it. I also read that people who used pulley systems also had deformation due to the straps being to far apart or to far in causing flex in the hull. I guess I have too much time on my hands since I am still waiting for my kayak to be made. I have almost 50 posts, all my accessories and no desert camo xFactor. I need to start fishing.

This rack is what I'll be using to hoist my new PA14 up into the rafters:

Racor Heavy Lift

It has a 250 pound capacity, so I'll put a half sheet of plywood down with 2" PVC pipe to fit the PA channels just right. No straps and no worries of any chafing or deformation. There should still be enough room on the platform to also store all the crap that goes along with having a fishing kayak...

I don't recommend the Harbor Freight pulleys though, they are junk.
