Made a simple Outboard Motor Stand

[Crazy Dave Condon]

Wood stands. Suggest gluing the pieces too

You're design has a great modern aesthetic that I really like. You might consider adding some type of cross grain support to help prevent the 2x12 from splitting as it ages and dries out. I really like the addition of the casters.

Thanks, and what you said is true. If someone is making this and they have some scrap 3/4' plywood sitting around, that would probably be better material for the triangular pieces, taking into consideration water exposure, etc. That being said, two years in my originals are still going strong.

Thank you for the simply yet effective design. I just finished my this morning. I used an 8 ft 2 x 12 and had some left over. I made the vertical board 40 inches long. Do not let my wife see this or she will make me clean the garage.

Nice. I highly recommend the fixed rollers for wheels. Makes moving the motor around very easy.

Nice. I made one too. I had one of the cheap aluminum ones with wheels which was an accident waiting to happen.
