Do you have the room to build a gantry out of 6x6's?
4-6x6's in the ground 3' each, 10' apart and as long as the boat is where the bow/stern eyes are. Bolted together with 2x6's and 1/2" bolts. The 2x6's are to keep the poles from pulling together under the weight of the boat. Attaching 4 come-alongs at these same locations and lifting the boat off the trailer.
My father and I did a similar thing with another boat but had 2 Sweetgum trees about 20' apart.
Also, please do have some blocking for safety purposes and when you're not present.

Well the sides are definitely getting sprayed. I may go with a white roll-on bottom paint for ease.

Thanks for the ideas.
