Chris,
That really is the fun part! It's really not hard, since you're basically just taking stuff apart. Just hire a truck with a crane and you can do it yourself with a few friends. I kept my boat in the water the whole time and when the engine was lifted out at the seawall at the marina, it was even more fun sailing back into the slip without the engine. Try it!

I would love it if they could do it in my slip at the marina. I am in Home Port Marina in Palm Harbor, FL (Tampa/Clearwater area). Email me with any suggestions. thedulingroup@...
