    Kayak Hoist – Overhead Pulley System with 125 lb Capacity for Kayak, Canoe, Bike, or Ladder Storage by Rad Sportz

    • System sags doesn’t hold kayak as high as I would like the think rope became frayed with first hoist and caused blisters to develop on my hands

    • Love the pulley system, it was a little confusing to setup at
    • Maybe it works when it's exactly the same rope on both sides but since there's not enough length to do that, the all system is doomed....
    • I like the system overall!
    • Installation was relatively easy, the instructions were easy to follow, the system itself is easy to use (I've lowered and hoisted my kayak a couple dozen times now), and the "buckles" that some people complained about are nowhere in sight--apparently they've revamped their product so there are no buckles at all

    • Also just so you know the way that I installed mine was on a two by four running the span of three different roof trusses and used 6 in lag bolts too attached to the trusses and then used the supplied 3 in lag bolts to secure the hoist system to the two-by-four
    • I put the safety vests and detachable oars inside them and it is a great system
