Using a couple of cheap plastic blow molded garage creepers I am now able to easily store and move my kayaks around without having to pick them up:

The rounded design works well with the shape of the kayak

Some strategically placed pool noodle holds the kayak in place.

The rounded shape accommodates different hulls.

The creepers allow me to go straight from the cart or trailer and into storage easily. :wink:

That's a very creative, cleaver and useful idea. Ideas don't always have to be complexed and expensive to be useful. I'm sure that will make someones life easier.

That's a brilliant idea! And when you need to work on the car, they are close and handy!!

Excellent idea and application. I will show mine after I take some photos.

The personalities of the Hobie Mirage Kayak owners are very similar to Kawasaki KLR650 owners. They are creative, innovative, frugal, project oriented, etc. This can be a good thing if they are busy kayaking and riding but when the weather slows them down the kayaks and motorcycles become a vision. ;^) My $5300 KLR has upgrades totalling $3500.
