Could someone recommend a garage storage rack for this boat? I am looking at various hoist or J hook style racks, but I am concerned about deforming the hull while it is in storage.

another solution is to just hoist it up from the the carrying handles at the front and back. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer directly.

Write your answer here...Todd, I have seen several "sling" type designs that use the dual pulley system. The best one that I saw used the foam "plumbers" pipe insulation on a piece of 2 inch wide strap that was attached to the ropes that go through the pulleys. The foam and the straps cradled the bottom of the kayak, preventing any damage.
