Garage Kayak Racks? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dsafety · 02-23-2009, 09:19 PM

Six or seven kayaks? When do you find the time to use them all? I have two but only use one of them, (the Hobie Revo). The other is a silky smooth paddle kayak by Necky called a Dolphin. I love them both but have been spoiled by using the Hobie so the other sits on the rack most of the time.

For the record, I store my kayaks on the metal runners of one of my garage doors that is never opened, (too much stuff in that space to park a car.)

I sounds to me that rather than building some amazing storage structure, you should think about posting some of your castoffs on Craig's list.

Eddie, I had something like that in mind. I'll check Pnavy.

Erinoo, are those surf racks?

Bob, I can't sell them, you never know when I might take up kayaking again.

j/k some are surf, tandem, short, long. I just checked my inventory, I am down to 5, already sold a couple.

Chris,

I use the same racks as Erinoo , very cheap at Home Depot.

Hey Eddie, that rolling all in one rack is very sweet. I'll be keeping that idea on the burner for future organizational needs. Mike

We can build it...my Dads a TV repairman, he's got an awesome set of tools!

Hey, if you want to hang one or more up tight to the rafters, Harbor Freight
has hoists similar to the harken hoister. Toatally worth the $10 bucks for the two sets. You'll just need from Home depot a couple eye bolts and carabiners and a tie off(cleat) to go with it. You can lift a heavy yak with 2 fingers(per end).

ps- There's a HF out by me, I need to make a run over there soon.
