Either a chain hoist, come-along or (my own personal choice) a cherry picker will work fine.
I use a cherry picker because it allows me to move the engine around after I've removed it from the transom. It's simply a matter of logistics. Mobility equals ease of use. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-Ton-C...l_s1021_c0615b

Sometimes you gotta wonder why people do things. That off-the-shelf poly tank was probably $400 and a cluster&%$# to get it in. A new custom aluminum tank is $500-$550.
You can do it right or do it fast but you can't do it half-right, only half-fast!

Hi Jet.. I do not have a stand but can build one.. It will be awhile as I want to get the tank and the floor in before I start on the transom... Will be digging out the rubble left under the tank and then start the process of putting it all back together..There is a place here in Tampa that is called Fiberglass Discount and the owner is a world of knowledge and his prices seem to be right..
Do you have a pic of the tank you put in ??? Would like to know what I have to redo before I buy one Thanks Royce |
