[QUOTE="chrislrob, post: 119700, member: 2336"] Okay, so thinking about this a little more, I think I can use a hoist to hang this in my garage. Garage is 18ft wide, exposed joist ceiling, exposed brick sides. I dismissed hanging it from the ceiling originally because I had no idea that there were so many systems for hanging boats and such. I worried about the weight. I worried about having it hanging above my wife's head. I'm doing some checking on how I can hang it crosswise at the rear of the garage, above the car's hoods. That way, it's both out of the way of my overhead door and not hanging like the Sword of Damocles above my family. As for the weight, I figure that between brick walls, pulleys, ropes, straps, winches, and ceiling joists, there's got to be a way to get the boat up and off the ground. I'm not the first person to need to safely raise a few hundred pounds. [/QUOTE]
