DIY Outboard Stand
A DIY outboard stand for the used Mercury 50 HP I recently acquired and figuring out how to get it onto the stand.
My Tango Skiff boat build is an example of the amateur-friendly stitch and glue boatbuilding method. Making use of marine plywood, fiberglass and epoxy, I document its construction from beginning to end. Find all the articles below.
A DIY outboard stand for the used Mercury 50 HP I recently acquired and figuring out how to get it onto the stand.
Picked up a serviceable boat trailer for my Tango 17, a sad boat and a Mercury outboard in unknown condition.
With the sides on, family and friends no longer have to humor the guy who says he’s building a boat in the garage.
The boat bottom gets stitched and the Tango 17 starts to take shape.
With the workshop short on space, being able to move the boat around became a necessity. A mobile boat cradle with stands mounted on top made for a great solution.
