Where can I find good racks for my new Tiger Canoe? I want to put it in my garage but I don’t want to leave it on the floor. It’s sitting on boxes right now and I am afraid I will put a dent in my expensive toy. Any help would be appreciated.

Use 2 camp chairs without arms. They’re cheap (~5 bucks each) and cradle the canoe as good as any other contraption. Plus you can sit on ‘m apre-paddle while you’re at the beach.

I use one of those L-brackets that HomeDepot sells that come with a foam padding on it and I have my Hurricane hanging on my garage wall.
The chairs work as good also, I do that when I hit the beach with the kanu, but then it takes up floor space.

thanks for the comments and pictures. Hybridpaddle, looks awesome and also looks like you maximized your garage space.
As for Nalu, which racks from Go Bananas did you get? got any pictures. I am still trying to decide about the ceiling racks or if a pulley and rope system would work. My garage is kind of tiny and I would like to get the boat out of the way.

HEY I bought some Surf board racks at Going Banana’s on Kapahulu. I found that they work great, just measure the lenght and make sure you have room. Then I use L-brackets with foam paddling for the AMA and I have peg board so I put a rubberized holder from City Mill for the iakos. Works like a charm. just my two pennies

If you decide to go the ceiling route, check out Harken. We bought two of the 2-point systems (max load 60 lbs) for our Mako skis. It has webbed straps that go around the boat and installation was relatively easy. You’ll have to find a place for the ‘iakos and ama unless you want to put them on the boat then hoist it up.
It wasn’t cheap ($80 each) but it allowed us to put 2 skis, 2 OC1s, 2 bikes, 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, and a washer/drier in our garage so you do what you gotta do!

For some reason, I thought this post had to do with wall or ceiling cracks and paddling. I gotta pay closer attention.
Just McGuiver it using 2” PVC pipe, T connectors and a set of steel straps (see pic) to bolt the pvc to the wall. Use pipe insulation and pipe tape to pad the rack. The PVC is plenty strong. You can put end caps or plugs on them if you want the deluxe version. :)

Now there’s a good side by side comparison of the Hurricane and the Pegasus .. note the forward rudder and cockpit position on the Peggy
