Block and tackle pully system....been around for centuries. You need more support for hull. Try a sling system with six inch wide straps...Quite an easy project actually...good luck

West Marine sells a nice 6:1 Harken lift system for $140 and an 8:1 system for $170.

On the other end of the spectrum, I saw this bicycle lift at Harbor Freight for under $10. It's pretty light duty and I'd be pretty nervous suspending a PA over anything with it. The mounting hardware was okay, but the pulleys were a little flimsy.

The harbor freight lift works fine, as long as you mount it in a solid way. Had it now for two years supported a revo, an outback and now an outfitter.

Like Dorado said, buy some thicker straps.

I intend to buy one of the Harken systems for my PA14 as soon as my deck gets remodeled. Here's the link to all their products... http://www.harkensport.com/cat/hoister.html

Maybe suspend it in a cargo net?

I actually went up into my attic and laid in 2x4 to make a bigger and stronger area for support then putting the screws for my pullies strait into the end of the 2x4 which was already in there under the drywall

When I had a PA last year I was searching the Hobie site and saw a guy had a system alot like yours but he had some kinfd of electric motor attached. And if im not mistaked another guy used an electric drill motor to spin his up. Sorry I dont have the link but I know I read it and saw the pics.

Many different ways to do it and I will update pics when I profect it. I just needed to get it off the ground. Just hope the way Ive done it doesnt hurt my kayak. I hope andy can come in with his expert advice.
