Nope...it's 'hoist'
hoist
verb
raise (something) by means of ropes and pulleys.
1. an act of raising or lifting something.
2. the part of a flag nearest the staff; the vertical dimension of a flag
"Hoisted" would be past tense. As in, "Jack hoisted the flag at sunrise" as compared to, "I'm about to hoist the flag".

Yet you felt it necessary to respond.
I guess you missed the humorous aspect of the sidebar in this thread.

Actually, it's a "I can't use the boat launch in this park" thread. Why would I camp at a lake some 30 miles from my home!?!?
