[wanted] Trolley/stand for 15hp outboard
I'm looking for a trolley/stand for 15hp outboard so I don't keep tripping over it!
Don't really need anything s substantial as the one that Shed78 is selling - something simpler and cheaper would be ideal

It might be worth doing what I use for moving them-a sack truck with a couple of bits of wood bolted to it.

B&Q do a upright truck for around 15 quid. I moved an old and very big 42 inch TV with one the other day. It took three people to lift it to where I could get the truck to it.
But they're orange!

Ah, now then, thats where you were going wrong.
Those Umpalumpas may be willing, but they are on the small side.

I think I've sussed your plan.
Plenty of 'airbags' around should it have fallen off the trolley.

I was listening to radio 2 the other day about the unusual uses people were using their wheelie bins and recycling bags for.........I have another one
Go out and nick a neighbours wheelie bin. Part fill the wheelie bin with water and hang the outboard on the side. Also used to flushing too  Oh and it has wheels too!  So you can wheel it any place your heart desires
Oh and it's free......Just don't let the Neighbours see it

If you screw a little plastic tap into the bootom of it,to let the water drain slowly afterwards, it stops the wife getting the strunts because you just tipped a wheelie bin over with must be near on a quarter of a ton of water in it and levelled a couple of flower beds...

or, even worse, all over your feet  Got caught by a tsunami bouncing back off the garage wall. I reckon my shoes should be dry in a couple of weeks...

Now what you should have said is that you were going to wash the wheelie bin out for her, loads of brownie points

I bought one of the £20 sack trucks because I needed one anyway. They're certainly cheap, and pretty flimsy, but the wheels alone are probably worth most of the cost!
Anyway, after a bit of haggling I've ended up with Shed78's bit of heavy engineering, and very nice it is too - should last a while
