Outboard Motor Storage Mount for Swim Platform

[ken emigh]

Want to store dinghy outboard on swim platform length wise. Need suggestions on building one or buying one. Where to I go? Has anyone built one out of treated lumber?
Assistance please.

I installed weaver's moto sto last year and I love it. I had no problems and saw a few others being used this past summer. I built my own at first but I decided it was too f-ugly. I paid $255 for the weaver. Here is a picture and you can just make it out on the port side of the platform. But you can see the lift I DON'T have to make anymore.

Also you could try a Hurley Davit. They are very popular in our area. Easy to install and easy to take off. It depends on the type of platform and size of your dinghy.
