Fortunately for me I'm young and dumb enough to lift 300lbs. I'm sure one day I'll regret it. I can lift it but usually that night my back reminds me why I shouldn't.

I used to pick up all sorts of big heavy crap. Know a few guys a few years older than me that used to do the same thing and their backs are all screwed up. I use engine hoists, jacks, lift gates, boat stands, and engine stands now. Looking for some A frame gantrys. Bought some second hand at garage sales, craigslist, etc. Something to be said for having the right tools and not killing yourself or damaging stuff.

I use the winch strap, a chain, and a ratchet strap on the bow eye, and transom straps on the rear lifting eyes.
Straps on the back will also keep the boat from coming through the back window in a crash.
