    I once put kayaks and paddles on a garage wall by putting two nails in
studs about 1/3 in from either end of the kayak.  Then I got some lawn chair
webbing and hooked one end on the nail, then enough to go around the kayak
and back up to the nail.  The boat was hung sideways on the wall.  I could
either undo the loop, hold the kayak in place, and put the loop back onto
the nail, or (far more often) simply put one end of the boat into a loop,
then slid the other one over the opposite end.  Simple, cheap, worked
reat.  --And it's easy to spackle a single nail hole......
