Hi Bobby,

Can't see from the picture if you have grab loop holes at the ends or not. If not, stop here. If you do, like Angela suggested, using these to suspend the yak works. I have used steel rods about 2 feet long held up on stands. Two people can grab the rods and (if coordinated :) ) flip it over to varnish the other side. The folks who spray finish our boats just suspend it this way and sort of lay on their back to spray the bottom. Guess it works.
