    You can just move it around with your engine lift. I would if you haven't put something on the base to protect rom moisture.

    Ya...get all the structure back in under deck before flipping including transom. I think flipping that hull would be difficult, would require some serious rigging and peoples. Maybe after above put on blocks or leave on trailer and access repairs that way.

    On this design transom I would go outside cut. The interior approach would be a nightmare.

    You will need to move the outboard to the end/side of the boat and use the steering cables you have to control the engine flip flop. I've seen guys literally build a station out of ply that had ignition, steering etc on it. Time to research. Appears you have a steering wheel and with that come...

    So then I'm hoping you were only going to use it for support while NOT running. No way to the engine if you plan to try and kick her over. You might be able to run a strap around the lower casing, but the engine will still want to jump while running on start. My best bet is to strap the picker...

    If it starts it may rev high then should go to a lower rev as would be normal. Do not throttle up let it run in idle. Make sure it is pissing water out to cool motor. Hope all goes well !
