Shop: kayak storage

Hopefully will finish up the kayak storage system I've been working on today. Hangs kayaks/canoes from the ceiling of my garage for fairly cheap. Using modified bicycle lift kits. This, as per usual, took about 4 times longer than I expected. Lets me hang 6 kayaks in the ceiling of my garage (helps that I've got a really tall ceiling in the garage). Costs about $30 for each boat btw, so "much" less money than paying for the Harken Hoister which works really well but isn't cheap. (specially for 6 boats )

Pix and details once the system actually works :)
