Default Best way to store a motor

I need to find way to store some motors. I bought a 235 for the Wellcraft 228 sportsman and a 150 use for the V eventually. I need to get them out of my truck. I do not have a shop, so stands are not an option. I do have a shed I am going to add a covered side area to to keep them under until I can get them worked on.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I was finally able to get the motors out of the truck. 2 Come A Longs from tractor supply on sale for 9.99 each ( what a deal ) since everywhere else they were 40-50 each. I put the truck under the swing set and they lift without a problem. Now to get them on a stand.

Talking

Not sure about the cheese, ... but I'll bet a glass of beer would work.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

Actually, It was a swing set that I made, not store bought. I was not really concerned about it holding the weight. It didn't even creak at all. Plus I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I wasn't under them.
