My point can the kayaks be placed upside down against the ceiling. Harbor Freight sells a bicycle lift hand operated by rope that may be able to be adapted for your kayaks. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss over the phone. (Also a retired professional engineer).

Exactly. Place them at a 90° angle to the cars, between the garage door and the back wall of the garage somewhere.
Instead of a pulley system, you could build a fixed padded bracket of wood or metal at one end, screwed into a ceiling joist, that holds the nose of each kayak, then build another bracket at the other end with a bottom piece on a hinge with a cleat to secure the other end of that bottom piece. Insert the nose of the kayak, lift the tail of the kayak to the ceiling, lift the bottom piece of that bracket with the hinge and secure it with the cleat. This would of course be a two person lift.
