In my dreams I would have two kayaks hanging in my garage (damn, forgot to 
measure when I bought the house last year, but very good point!!), so that I 
could easily lower then onto the racks/saddles. 

In reality the garage is still so full of crap that I have three boats 
resting on some neat brackets made by Hardy ($35 pair - he advertises in Sea 
Kayaker - especially his little wheelie yak transporter, but I can locate if 
someone really wants me to), duly covered by waterproof fabric, on my Atrium 
wall.

That doesn't count the four boats on the back deck (I have finally put two up 
for sale ( Kiwi Kayaks 9' Tadpole that is good for fishing from as long as 
you're not trying to keep up with anyone $350  - and Old Town Canoe's 13' 
Dimension Solo that is super comfortable and stable with external sponsons 
but I'm running out of storage space - $400).  Well, I finally blurted out my 
dirty little secret that I had hoarded while all of you were listing your 
boats.

Well, since it is confession time, I might as well add that I also have 
Seveylor's Fiji inflatable that I bought at the last minute to use during a 
camping trip.
