Yep, that's what I did, and added a cross member to sit on so I could raise the engine off the engine mounting bolts while I was hoisting it up from the boom. Made friends with the rigger at the yard. While I was lowering the engine into my pickup, he came buy and said "You are doing that by yourself, I see that the Fearless name on the boat is quite appropriate." I told him "The boat is Fearless, I am quite nervous. The boat will let the owner do any doom thing he wants." 1 hour later we were still exchanging adventure stories.
