Do most of you do-it-yourselfers have motor stands? I was thinking of building one out of 2X lumber with casters on it. Any suggestions on design or pictures of motor stands? I have a 115 yamaha 2 stroke and may be buying an Evinrude 90.

Dan, here is one I built. Takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

It is important to brace from both sides, otherwise, if you tilt the engine, it will fall over. Experience has taught this.

Zack, thanks for the reply. Your picture looked almost exactly as I'd thought it might.

"Experience has taught this..." Man, I hate when THAT happens!

I'm glad you mentioned the tilting part... I had not thought that through.

Nice boats, by the way... a beautiful Nauset and a Newport. I've never seen a Newport "in person." That is a beauty! I hope you'll post pictures on a Personal Page sometime.

Dan I think this is right up your alley. John Flook (kingfish) (Duf's twin) did this for his 90hp Johnson v-4.

thanks, Jeff. I appreciate it.

;) I would advise John not to race his brother for money, beer, or anything else of value!
