I've looked but cannot find the answer.

I'm intending to build a storage solution for my PA 14.
It is recommended to be (long term) stored upside down but does that mean it should be on the H rails or instead supported with supports before & after the rails?

thanks

I store my pa12 upside down all the time I made a pallet to sit it on it sits on the top edges I'll take a picture and post it in the next day or so.

I built my cart/storage rack with the PVC rails. Seems to work perfectly, no deformation in the hull at all in my horribly hot garage here in west central Florida. I know it says that in the owners manual, but dang flipping my PA 14 over, SCREW THAT! I just built the height of my truck bed and it slides right in. Within 1 minute it's out of the garage and being strapped in. When I get home, slide it out wash it down, back in the garage.

I have a pic of mine on here as do others that have done similar things.

Dasher, where did you read that? I am under the impression that storing them in the Hobie cradles is the recommended long term storage method.

Oops! I just reread the Manual and saw that upside down is also OK. When in doubt read...
