    I've done this a number of times...

    tie off the stern and slowly push the boat off the trailer, as you unwind the winch the trailer tongue will
    begin rising until the entire weight of the boat is resting on the ground.
    once you are finished the repairs, the trailer is lined up to the boat and winched back under the boat
    this time the tongue is pointing skyward until the weight of the boat is back on the trailer.

    you need two guys to do it properly.

    My old fiberglass I just tied to a big tree on our farm and put a bunch of old tires underneath. Drive out slowly and add more tires. Putting it back on was just as easy in the reverse order.

    I also have put my 17 ft hourston on the lawn. Not a problem getting it back on. The marina item is probably the easiest with out hurting yourself or breaking something.
