Tsubaki is right if you're simply attempting to remove an old motor and install another one...

If you really want to know how to remove the boat from the trailer, do a search on the forum. I recall Skool's Out posting a frame by frame illustration of how to do it not very long ago...

Yes, I wouldn't try a threesome.
Remove the boat maybe after removing the motor,sit the boat on the ground, repair the trailer, winch the boat back on the trailer, start bottom paint with the trailer supporting a portion of the load at a time then repower.
All of this can be done with an inexpensive motor hoist.

I've got one of these, but I bought it during one of their sales...

Here's the same one, but it doesn't fold up:

And here's the one ton version; this would definitely work too

As with the rest I say one thing at a time.

1. get the motor off the boat
2. boat off the trailer
3. fix the trailer
4. put boat back on the trailer
5. install new power.

Wil be much easier to get the boat on and off without the weight and leanth of the motor.

For blocks, depends how high you want it off the ground?? Cinder blocks with some wood to cushion the boat. If you need to get it a little higher cause you want to sand and paint the bottom then go with stands.

Motor lift above can be rented at any rental place for 1/2 and hole days. I think at mine it was like $25 1/2 and $35 for the hole day.
But then the way you are going you will need to rent twice, so for about half the cost of the ones above. if you have the room buy your own, always good to have at the ready!!
