I am having my boat shipped to my house next week and I am going to remove the engine. I've removed an engine from a C30 before but it was while the mast was up and we could use it as a crane. This is going to be in my drive way. As of now what we are planning on doing is, a few of us lifting it into the cockpit and placed on 2x6's. Then we are going full Red Neck and putting a large cherry picker in the back of a pick up truck. Lifting it out of the cockpit with that, slowly pulling the truck away and then lowering it down. I am sure I'm going to get roasted for this method, but does anyone have any other less questionable means of lowering an almost 300 pound engine from 10-12 feet in the air to the ground?
