Ditto on the pulley system - except I tied the 'lifting' lines off to a fixed point on the ceiling then clipped a loop of rope around the hull into a pulley....then the lifting lines go up through another pulley attached at the same fixed point in the ceiling (really...this is a simple two pulley system to gain mechanical advantage...just a bugger to describe!! :o) ). No problem to lift the boat up to the ceiling (~ 11 ft). The two pulleys make it much easier. I pull on both lifting lines (fore and aft) to lift the boat evenly up to the ceiling. My loops under the hull are located directly under the bulkheads (plastic boat).
