Hi guys,
Im starting a new project because I purchased a 1986 18' Ebb Tide Dyna-Trak SS with rotted stringers/floor/transom. The next step in this process is cap/shell/top removal (name varies by place). In order to do this i need to remove a huge 1979 150HP Johnson Outboard with power tilt and trim. What recommendations do you guys have? I am working on this project outdoors in a driveway and need to do this is in the safest/cheapest fashion. Is it possible to have four of us lift it onto a home made stand which we will be constructing or is it a better idea to buy a cherry picker and have it suspended under a tarp during construction? Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated. Links to products are also good. I also don't believe there is a spot to connect an eye to lift from (unless threaded into the flywheel).
Thanks everyone.
