This is what I've come up with to store my PA12. We have limited space and I needed to be able to load and unload the boat myself. 3 inch PVC piping. So far so good.

I just got a hobie pro angler 12 for this season and I wanted to know if it can be stored flat upright. I know they recommend to use properly fitting cradles to store it upright so the hull doesn't get dented. What if it was set on a mattress or something similar that wouldn't be too rigid or make any dents? |

I store mine flat upright. I just put a few foam noodles crosswise underneath it so it's not sitting directly on the floor. Never had an issue. |

I store mine upright and the bottom is flat on a long piece of thick carpet that I bought at a garage sale. When I bought mine I asked my dealer and he told me to do this just like he does in his showroom. |

jjseiler68 I like your storage stand. What is that nasty white stuff on the ground under the PA? I had a lifetime of dealing with that stuff and I hope to never see it again in person!! I like your cart. That is the first one in copper that I have seen. If you zip tie a noodle around the cross brace the PA will ride with the weight spread across a larger surface that has some flexability when using the cart. (just a suggestion) |

Lol! The dastardly white stuff has rendered my PA useless other that to think of things to build for it. I have the foam pipe insulation that goes on the plug in cart but haven't put it on yet. The boat gets wet tomorrow snow or shine. |
