I got several Cast Iron Mercury stands for $100 each. bolt a plywood laminated beam between 2 of them and you can hang 4 outboards.

Sure you can make a lifting eye with pipe and some welding . . . but for $35 which is the price of the lifting eye from a dealer (why bother) you only need one. Get'r done or that v20 project will take a decade.

DITTO!!
That is the very thing I have a retardation for, building something that I could have bought for the same price!!
