No way.

Did you even bother looking at the ad?? They're the same pictures that are on here for how to build your own engine stand.

I realized that but still only a few bucks worth of wood...... Good catch

Could be the iboats member selling his stand too.

I have built a couple of them. No biggie as Bob said. Hand full of 2x4's and a piece of 2x8 for the clamp bracket to mount to. Just diagonally brace the bottom runners so that when you mount the engine it doesn't fall over backwards. I used bolts rather than nails to ensure it held together.

Re: engine stand on craigslist?

many people have fat wallets and lack of mechanical skills and will buy them. in my mind, not worth it simply because there is $18 worth of casters, wood, and screws there and I know how to build things. however if you add labor, I would charge $75
