Craigan, I should have shown you the one I had in the backyard when you were up here... I built it to hold two 200HP Suzukis a while back. So, yours doesn't need to be as wide. I would think you could build one for no more than $50, probably much less if you have some scrap wood laying around.
Here's a pic:
I ended up lowering the height on it a good bit and also raising the pieces across the bottom to give clearance for the feet of my lift. I also decided to go with cross beams, one on each side to make it more stable. Anyway, this is just one way to do it.
And here's a link to a previous discussion on motor stands:

Is this stand for the 225? Are you removing it from the boat? Just curious...
