WANTED: Outboard stand

Outboard stand wanted for 15hp engine. Had a look on ebay and the £40 ones look a bit flimsy and I don't really want to pay any more than that. If anyone has something lurking in their garage they don't want please let me know!

What about something like these http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Grou.../sd3156/p49173 ... a concrete block and some wood bolted on for the engine to clamp to would give quite a solid base...

I gave my set away a while ago, but the plan for them was to put our 50 tohatsu on it... did put it on there for a bit, and seemed fine... just didnt get around to making somewhere for it to clamp to!

I used slightly more timber (think log cabin), took 3-4 hours in sub zero temperatures in January, but needed to be heavy duty for Tohatsu 60hp (115kg).
