Am I damaging my kayak? Pics taken - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I can't really see anything from your pics. Yet, from your pics I would think the way you store the yak would create any issues. However, the plastic yaks are subject to changes in shape from exposure to heat; it softens them which makes them susceptible to changes in shape from pressure and gravity.

I do however have no idea of what your referring to as molding.

Have a yard, get rid of a bunch of that crap in your garage and build a hoist system. Kayak are molded plastic but will and contour itself to whatever its sitting on. One day I left mine on a sawhorse for 30minutes in the sun and when I finally realized what I did it had already molded itself to the shape of the area that was supporting it. Now I never lay it flat or on its side for long periods.

Building a hoist system is easier than you think. Since you have the space for it why not do it?

yeah, I wouldn't leave your boat layin like that, if you have to store it on its side I would make or get those wall mount brackets for the yak, however I believe the hoist/sling idea is best...see ya saturday channel 78....b

The picture with the two arrows show about 1 or 2 mm of the bottom park of the kayak sticking out from the side. I have brick walls covered with cement so the only way i can store a kayak is probably with a hoist system. Anyone know of a good hoist system...

Welcome to BWE, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have, but let me give you a couple of pointers:
1. Look in the upper left of the post to see when it was written. You responded to one that is 6 years old.
2. As I was writing this I finally got it. You made a funny. Now I am smiling.

Don't ever store a PA on its side like that though.
