I have done a single long block swap on my old scarab with twins in just over 4hrs....and thats including swapping all the accessories and taking off/putting on the outdrive!! It doesnt help the fact that i did it 3 times prior in about a 2 month period!! 
at that point i could have doen it blindfolded!!!

Re: Average Shop hours to swap motor ...
I just did it in My Tiger
45 minutes for removal of engine and outdrive
2.5 hours swap over of parts
2 hours re -install
1 hour of fine tuning once in boat
And I am not handy at all at this kind of stuff. But it was pretty self explanitory and My boat afforded alot of room to work in the engine compartment
