Yep, you read that right.

I took my engine stand (V6/V8) and turned it into my boat engine stand for those times I have to work on the boat motor.

Great solution! Do you think it would be stable with a larger motor such as say, a 75HP four cylinder or better?

My V6 4.3L weighs roughly 475 pounds, and a V8 350 weighs roughly 100 pounds more, 575 pounds. It should hold just about anything you put on it.

Yea the casters are good and bad. Great for moving the stand/engine around the garage. However when your trying to pull start it you must block the casters so she doesn't walk all over the place. It's not so much the engine moving when you pull, its getting 30 gallons of water moving that gets tricky, unless your in your bathing suit. :mrgreen: Fortunately I have a 1" gap between the garage floor and the driveway, I drop a caster in there and she stays put.
