My favorite method to hang boats in the garage is with lap style seat
belts from a car.  I nail or bolt the safety belt attachments to a rafter.
2 seat belts per boat, spaced about 1/4 from each end or at the bulkheads.

For a heavy canoe we set up a pulley system to hoist the boat to the
rafters.  We then buckle the canoe in and release tension on the pulley
ropes.
