This is just for storage but would like to perfect it and make higher for paint and working on it. Plus I really didn't want this just sitting on the garage floor where it could fall over!

I've really enjoyed this thread, getting some great ideas on stands. The photo shows what I came up with about 10 years ago to R&R an outdrive. Had to put it to use again, lately, to replace bellows. I just use a length of pipe to support the drive, via a J-bolt... the other end of the pipe is strapped under the handle on the hoist. Since I already had the engine hoist, my only cost on this adaptation was for two bolts.
(This is my first time, here, trying unsuccessfully, to get a photo to show in the window.... so, I had to post the url, above. Can somebody describe the process for posting photos? Thanks!)

On your setup, if you take the J-bolt from the pipe and bend a loop in it on top. Then remove the chain and hook from the hoist and put the J-bolt back in where the chain was, works without the pipe. Used mine this way until I go the idea for my engine stand mod.

the northern tool one I have used - it really does not work 100 % as bottom clearance is an issue especially for boats 26 ft and down, It needs to be modify after the fact..
I do like it has a bunch of adjustability side to side and frot to back angles.

I have one off this same plan except the ends of the channel is welded shut. . It works pretty good, but you still need to wrestle with the drive to get it on. The ones with more adjustability would work better.
