    Motor Hoist

    Anyone use a Harbor Freight motor hoist?
    Also looking at a Big Red at Pep Boys.
    I think all of them are from China in this price range.

    I bought a cheapo from Harbor Freight 10 years ago and it`s still working fine. Kinda hard to screw up a simple design I guess.

    T-Rex has the same thing only he added a Mercury trim pump. I like his better.

    I got a HF motor hoist and a motor stand with a 1/8" plate custom cut and welded on with the outboard holes patterns on it.. You can come have both for $350.. Im in 18902 probably 45 minutes from you.. Stuff is all newer used very little.. No more boats and it just takes up room
