recommend a v4 sized rolling stand?

[pcrussell50]

so I've got 3 v4 crossflows and two boats to hang them on. right now my spare engine is on a car engine stand--which pretty much sucks and is awkward. can someone recommend something that is actually made for this? and how much do they cost?

Using the search bar in upper right, :thumbsup: lotta eng stand info there also if your car motor one is a 3 wheeler your better with a 4 wheeler to put an o/b on, cause they are top heavy. I like the fold up ones, check both www.northerntool.com (http://www.northerntool.com) and www.harborfreight.com (http://www.harborfreight.com). Good luck.

For about $50 you can go to Home Depot and get enough materials for 2 stands if you have the time. I do have one I purchased from Harbor Freight though that worked well.

Yep, what he said...mine is WAY over-engineered and could hold a Johnson V-8 but the peace of mind was worth it. I think I have about $90 into it, including the steel casters. One thing to be careful of is the height of the rear bottom cross-brace. Make sure that your hoist can lift the motor high enough to get the skeg up and over it to take it on and off the stand.

I bought this one (315) It was $110 shipped and works well with my V4. I can't remember exactly but I think I bought through their eBay store for free shipping. http://www.discountramps.com/outboard-motor-carts.htm

I've been buying the movers dollies from Northern Tool for about $15. They are wood with 4 casters and come in different sizes.
Rated for 1000 lbs.
You cant buy the casters for as cheap as they sell them.
Theyre perfect for powerheads and a complete v4 or v6 crossflow with an old throwaway cowling balances nicely upside down. They roll around super easy
The ones I looked at @ Harbor freight seemed like the wheels were softer so I doubt they would roll as good
Or you could just buy more boats to hang them on:p
