Bought a walace aluminum gantry off craigslist, It's adjustable, portable and can be moved around fully loaded. Also works awesome for taking boats on and off trailers!
Ordered some 4"x1/2" aluminum angle and made all the motor mount brackets to the stringers with a bare block mocked up.

Finish putting motors back together, rig all the coolers, and make backing plates for the dash panels. Hoping to be done in February or March.
