Just the opposite: Harder-to-Move = Better

But, it's still *temporary*? I.e., you don't want to pour a footing
and make a permanent structure out of it?

How long are the 2x6's (I assume this corresponds to the width of
the kayak?)

Haven't arrived at the final width yet. The restraining blocks are
the width of the kayak - the ideal being to have it nestle in there
and not have any room to wiggle back-and-forth in the wind.

So, no point in replacing 2x6's with 2x4's (to conserve on weight -- as
in "portable")?

I.e., The kayak gets *stored* there? (you're not just *setting* it
there while you resurface the underside, etc.)

Got to wait for the arrival of some beach wheels to see if I need for
the 2x6's to extend out on at least one side to make flipping the hull
upside-down on to the 2x6's easier.

What sort of weight is involved? Is there merit to leaning the kayak
on its side (probably less chance of damage than "tipping it on its
bow/stern") and *sliding* something under it; then, lowering the
kayak down in place?
