Hey John,
It would probably vary a bit based on the size motor. What size do you want it to accomodate?
Here is a link to another site that has a good write-up: https://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=266570
I know I've seen a couple here as well, but am having difficulty finding them. One in particular had a place to put small parts on while working on the motor. It is a neat design. Maybe someone else can dig it up for me.

Brine,
Thanks for the link, it looks really helpfull. Im gonna need it for a 6 hp chrysler. Its a short shaft about 15", and probably weighs somewhere round 50 lbs.

I've seen the thread that Brine is talking about. Not sure why, but I can't find it either. I want to think that Hanr was the Original Poster, but not sure. I'll look some more.

I've built the stand Brine provided you a link to. It works really well and will easily handle your motor in it's standard configuration. I modified it to handle a 300 lb. 75 HP Merc and it still did well.
Bassboy1's idea is just and good and a lot cheaper for that size motor.
You have no bad choices here, what more can you ask for?

Not to brag, and it doesn't have a parts bin, but this is about as simple as it gets. Got the inspiration from BassBoy1's picture above that I had seen earlier. Its under the "Cheapo Motorstand" thread in the Boathouse forum.

I'm planning to use it for my 25 horse Evinrude when I get the boat into the garage.

Another thing I like about them, is they are the perfect height and width to straddle the garbage cans I use to run my smaller motors (I have a ~100 gallon stainless steel tank for the larger outboards), so I never even have to unclamp the motor from the stand to test run it.
