I want to get a kayak but have very limited storage space and need some help. I live in a town house and have really limited storage space in my garage. I believe my only hope is to rig a ceiling mount, I just want to be sure I have the space. I have approximately 32” from ceiling to garage door when it’s up. Does anyone have a close to flush ceiling mount that they might be able to measure send some measurements for? 

It looks like a lot of the mounts online are cable and hang down quite a bit so I assume I can anchor a couple of hooks or a pulley system myself and get it pretty close to the ceiling to save a bit of space. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! 

I don't use one but i have seen people pull them pretty tight to the ceiling.  You'll just have to make sure that any rigging isn't going to interfere with the garage door opening/closing mechanism

I’ve already looked at that and think I have space to rig it all to the side, I just need to be sure I have the space above. It’s actually quite hard to find the depth of some kayaks as well. The Vibe yellowfin 100 and sea ghost 110 are on my radar but I haven’t been able to find measurements for their height anywhere online. 

no boat i have seen is more than probably 2' at the most and that is with a raised seat.  If i wasn't too lazy i'd go out and measure my ATAK for you lol

Found a deal on a yellowfin 110 and that seat is easily removable, if 24” is pretty standard then I will have more than enough space. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Thank you!
