Rather than standing on the motor, I'd say tilt it up and apply your weight to the foot a little at the time until you got it all on there...listening for a snap-crackle-pop which is a dead giveaway for a bad transom...if you hear very little or nothing at all, you gotta good one...

great info
I took your advice, I really appreciate all the help. I bought the boat. Everything seems to be ok. I think I got a great deal. I paid 1500 for it 1984 v20 steplift with a great running 150 Mariner on it. It needs some love, that's for sure, but it came with a great trailer, all the safety gear, an extra external gas tank already set up for emergencies, radios, fishfinder, battery tender,and 2 new deep cycles, plus a whole bunch of other stuff. lol ..... I could probably part the engine out for what I have in it. I am very happy. Time to get to work! Any advice you guys can give me as a new owner would be much appreciated. Thanks
