I have 2 Outbacks and 1 Pro Angler. Looking for some ideas on how people store them. I built a rack that allows me to stack them built those suckers are heavy. Anyone got a good design for some sort of lift to get them onto the racks. My shed is lofted so not sure the standard pulley system would work but willing to try any ideas.

Loading one side at a time is a common technique that cuts the load in half...or use a heavy duty hoist/pulley system with a minimum of 2" wide straps. As for long-term storage...either upside down on padded horizontal bars, or right side up on cradles (for PAs) is best.
