Everyone probably has the same problem. Where to store the boat(s)? In my case I build so many it is getting out of hand. I am going to put some up for sale very soon. If you looking for a used one I am going to let them go very reasonable.

But I still needed to get those keepers out-of-the-way and out of the weather. I have been looking at ideas for a while and finally decided nothing beats overhead storage. That is dead space. I have been looking at options for making my own, but pulleys are expensive.  I found I could buy bike hoists cheaper and just alter them.

First I had to mount a 2×6 to the ceiling since the joist ran the wrong way. That took a while since I work alone and the tall ceilings didn’t help. But once I got that done I managed to get 3 of my boats hung up fairly quickly. I have 3 more kits I can install and I am so happy with this I think I am going to..
