Sent you a PM. Thanks

[QUOTE=Fandango;2173931]Shouldnt you be spending your time breaking in that new motor so that your older brother can get a ride in the new vessel when he comes down next weekend, as opposed to building a lower unit stand?

If I break it in completely then I will be able to make some high end runs. Dont want to have to clean the passenger seat after the ride.

I returned your PM and faxed you a sketch! Let me know if you have any ?'s.

PS; If anyone is interested in a sketch just PM a fax# and I will send one.

I was cutting a bunch of PVC pipe today and started thinking I could make a pretty nice, cheap, lightweight lower unit stand out of the stuff.

Finally built them. Thanks for the template. They work great. Made one too long but still does the job.

Ok so what are the Denison’s for that nice stand??

[tux974]

Use 3/4' plywood so it is nice and strong. You can use 1/2" but the 3/4" makes a difference.
You can put pieces of carpet on the 2x3's to not scratch the nice coned and paint work!
Also paint it so it stays clean.....LOL

Another suggestion to simplify storage.
Cut a piece of 3/4” plywood approximately 14”X15” ” or what ever size your stand is and screw it on the bottom with 4 small casters so you can roll them around shop/garage very easily.

Thanks for posting those dimensions, just another project to add to the list !!
