Here are some photos of the boat stand I use for my WOF 28. The first photo shows the overall stand.

This photo shows the back of the stand with the motor support notched for the lower unit. The sides of the stand are 3/8" plywood and the front and back frames are 1/2" or 5/8". All kinds of wood can be used and some guys really make beautiful stands. I just make something that will hold the boat.

Here's a photo of my WOF 28 in the stand. In the first two photos you can see a cushion type material I attached to the stand to keep the hull from contacting the plywood.

Hopefully, this will provide some ideas for you.

Hey MikeP.

I'm certain JD will be ok with it. Be sure to make yours longer than his as I'm sure he can tell you what happens when he puts a "boat-to-large" on his stand.

Jeez, didn't think anyone would actually ask permission to make a boat stand. I certainly don't have a problem with anyone copying what I posted. I probably copied it from someone else years ago. I also don't like PVC stands.

Snowdog, what did JD do with a "boat too large" on my stand? Did I launch both a boat and the stand? After 39 years of this, things start to fade.

I've built my stands similar to Jerry's. However, I add a bottom to it to carry accessories for the boat it carries that I might need on the beach at the start of a race. Saves the sprint back to the tool box.

Just a thought

Well, I remember one of your 34's (or was that the Solution?) being placed on the stand and it fell forward due to the stand not being long enough to support the front. That's really all I was wanting to say!
