Storing your Yak

I hope this dose not sound like a dumb question, but how does everyone store their yak? I have a cart and was just rolling it into the garage. Then I wanted to work on outfitting so I placed it on plastic sawhorses with foam protection on the top rail of the sawhorses. I was thinking of making a lift in my a garage with pulleys and some line with straps under my yak to hoist it out of the way. I noticed when I went out to my garage today that the bottom of my Yak was dimpled in where it sat on the sawhorses, it sat on them for a day and a half. So back to my question what is everyone else doing to put their baby to bed? I did a search and did not find anything on the forum.

Store it on its side leaning against the wall.  No worries about dents/dimples/oil canning etc.

If storing it on the horses, store it upside down.  If hanging it, use thick straps and hang it upside down.  Or, do as PP said.  Better ye,t fish everyday and don't store it at all.  That is my ultimate goal.

We just got Aquaracks which are padded and they hang on the wall at an angle. No dents yet. We do have a good sized shop with lots of space. Don't get the  cheap Coleman wall hangers. They are too small.

I would say that Craig's suggestion about going with your hoist system while having them upside down would be a Win Win method.   Out of the way and not taking up floor or wall space which always seems in demand in any garage. 

I store mine on its side. I alternate sides each time out.

Depends on the yak.  My OK Trident has been hanging right-side up in the garage from two 2" straps for over a year.  Before that it was stored on a cart.  No issues and no deformation.  It never occurred to me that yaks could be delicate.  Stored my Hobie Revo on the same cart and it deformed.  I now store the Revo right-side up on a number of storage bins with 4-6" thick foam blocks.  Nearly the entire hull is supported.  I roll it into the garage, lift the bow onto the forward bins, then lift the stern onto the rear bins.  This lifts the cart about an inch off the floor.  I then loosen the cart bungees which drop it to the floor.
