If so, is it DIY or bought? I need to figure out how to make one or buy one ASAP. Are there any I can buy in a store instead of online? Thanks.

    I made mine, but I believe Dick's Sporting Goods carries a hoist system in store. At least one near me does.

    I bought one from Amazon for about $30. Works great and makes for a great way to store my yak.

    I went with the Attwood kayak hoist, $26 from Farm and Fleet. The only problem is the straps are too long. I need to raise kayak about 18" higher. That means I have to shorten each strap by 36" correct? I'm worried that if I make them too short the hoist wont work properly. Any opinions? Thanks.
