I bought a 1250 lb. stand with a U-shaped base for $70. I really like that big base. The ones with the T-shaped base are a bit scary to me.

When the 261 was installed in the truck, I built a set-up to hold 2 of my 5 old white Mercury outboards. If I had used a longer 2x10, I could put 3 outboards on there. I wouldn't try this with a T-shaped base.
