WHH has a boat stand available for it but if you're like me, I like to build my own. Are you going to make it from wood, PVC pipe or something else?
If PVC, I'd use at least 3/4" to hold the weight. I make mine with a base slightly wider than the width of the boat for stability while transporting in my truck. Slightly longer than the hull for protection especially for the bow. Enough ground clearance for the prop and rudder also considering that once you fire up the motor, the prop can kick up pebbles, sand and anything else near it. I also build in a prop guard to protect the prop from damage and injury to you plus covers the rudder.

I use 1/2" on my small boats but even with 3/4" under my 7.5 mono it bends. It actually isn't that bad, it kind of conforms itself to the shape of the bottom of the hull.
