I used a forklift to remove and reinstall my 90hp on my 16' whaler. Worked real well. I used nylon webbing to make a bridle just below the engine (where it begins to narrow and eventually becomes the lower unit).
You could make lifting rings that thead into your flywheel and lift from them. I believe this is how dealers lift engines.
It you dont have access to lift, you could always make a gantry type thing, back the stern under and use a chainfall to lift the engine off. I believe Jeff made a gantry type thing to lift his boat off the trailer, see his PP for pics.
Good luck.
