You all open up the hatches?   Me, I put a small fan blowing inside my kayak in between trips.   I do not  want stanky mold. 
 

I get to fish year round tho.    Well, once I buy some immersion gear$$

Always!  If my kayak retains a lot of water after a trip, I'll usually tip it forward and drain out the water with a wet/dry shop vac.  Though, most of the time, it stays pretty dry on the inside.  It's usually the flush mounted rod holders that take on the most water.

I usually keep mine in my back yard under a tarp on stands, face down. My mom let me store them in her basement for the winter.

Thanks for the advice on the ceiling hoist. I was hoping to have a little more clearance

Probably a little late for this, but if you need to get kayaks tighter to the ceiling, a couple of eye screws and a cam strap help with that.  I had to end up buying a tupperware shed for the bikes to make room for things in the garage.  The hoists just left things hanging down too much.

It's the photographer.  He's been that way all his life, though.
