    Anybody know of a good lifting harness?

    I need to pick up a 1964 Mercury 650 which is a heavy sucker at least two heavy for just my wife and I, so I have been looking around for a lifting harness for boat motors and can't find anything that is rated to pick this weight up. Thanks in advance
