Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has any plans for a motor display stand for motors less than 5hp? I would like for it to look half way decent so I can display one of my motors in my man cave. Any other thoughts on nice looking ways to display one?

Thanks

Something like this? Don’t stop at just one though.

How about using an antique wood boat in the man cave to mount the motor on.
Then you could fill the boat up with ice and beer!

Prepare to be boarded!

I pick up old aluminum walkers and add a mounting board. Easy to find at Goodwill.

Sorry no pictures, how about the stern of an old wooden boat protruding out of the wall, maybe even part of the window frame. This is not my idea someone else thought of it and posted it a while back.
Best wishes, Jim

I sure like the design of those ELTO stands. Does anyone have a plan for them?
I just picked up a rudder twin from a family that has owned it since 1951. He is 85 years old and down sizing. Pictures coming when I get it figured out.

I’d make sure it had some platform underneath that could catch any oil leaks.

Great liberty is taken with the OMC stands …
