Using the "rounds" is a good idea or you can use cribbing. You don't really need the engine hoist. With most trailers you can simply lower the tongue jack all the way down, block the stern corners of the boat, then raise the trailer jack all the way up. Put a block (or cribbing) under the keel near the bow and lower the jack back down to clear the boat. The only real trick here is: as you pull the trailer out from under the boat you'll need to pull it forward until the cross-member contacts the forward block, put a block behind the cross-member, remove the forward block and continue pulling the trailer out. If you have more than one cross-member you may have to repeat this. The switching of the keel blocks is pretty easily accomplished with the use of a small jack (hydraulic, screw, or scissor) and a small block of wood (to cushion the keel from the jack).
