I am starting the process of replacing the fuel tanks in my boat. In order to do that I need to lift my engines. I need to know what size and type of I or H beam I need to support 1350 pounds on an 8’ span. There is a company here that sells steel but they say they don’t have any idea what size I need. I don’t know enough about steel to even ask intelligent questions. Also on one end I have only 2” for the vertical support so I am thinking of 2” round or square tubing. What would I ask for to support that end? On the other end I have a lot of room so I am going to use a 6x6 as the vertical support. Can anyone help me out?
