Whew, after seeing the title I thought this thread was about being transgendered.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed. Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

Perfect. Is that a kit for kayaks or something you engineered?

Looks good, but you could warp the hull like that. Vibes are not real heavy, but its still 75+ pounds sitting on two 1" straps in the Texas heat.
Out of an abundance of caution, you might want to run a couple horizontal supports under the hull or store it upside down.
If you prefer not to flip it, two pieces of 2" or 3" PVC pipe running the length of the hull would support the hull well.

It would be better if you stored it upside down, the deck of a kayak is stiffer than the hull. If that's not an option, then run pool noodles through the straps to help distribute the weight.

Pool noodles will certainly help and might be good enough for the relatively light Vibe. However, in my opinion upside down or full length horizontal supports would be better. It looks a couple 8' pieces of 2" or 2.5" PVC pipe will fit perfectly in the Vibe hull. I've seen enough pictures of warped hulls to be very careful (borderline neurotic) about proper storage.

Thank you for the advice. I actually have some 1.5 pvc at the house and it will work. I need 8 foot sections though mine were short, so off to Lowes tomorrow. Ill post pics when done.

Out of curiosity, which kit did you purchase? How long were the supplied straps overall? I may be doing this with my kayaks as a storage solution.
