Hobie Outback Storage Stand -- Using a Heavy Duty Tool Stand - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Picked up that exact harbor freight stand about an hour ago. Thought the package felt kind of light in the store, even for something rated up to #200. But at $20 it was worth a shot anyway.

Had the outback wobbling back and forth on it for five seconds and I told myself there was no way I was leaving the Hobie on that thing. Would've cried if I came back later to find it smashed in a bunch of pieces. That thing's got way too much mojo, I gotta make sure I carry that on somehow. So yeah I quickly put the yak back on the floor.

I think I'll sniff around Home Depot and see what I can throw together.

Just look for an old jet ski stand on CL. Prob get one for about $100-$125. Caster for easy transport too. Perfect

Hmm, just ran through some of those ads on CL. That does seem like it could really work and be pretty convenient. Thanks.

I bought 2 Coleman Rambler II Stools. About $10 each. Supports up to 225 lbs (per stool). I place my Outback 2016's ends on each stool and it sits flat, super stable. I like that it's foldable so it molds nicely with the shape of the hull. It's light and small too, so it's easy to carry if needed. Looked everywhere, Dicks, Wal-Mart, but could not find any locally.

One of the best purchases for my yak so far.
