Get yourself a few of these. Trailer wheels just roll right over the plates.

I agree with jeff32 basically. After working in boat yards most of my young life it seems easy to me. But, if you really want to make it simple, Put the boat in the water and have a local guy with a hydrolic trailer set it in your garage for you. Most small contractors have trailers to fit 30 feet. Around my area, they get around 125. to $200.00 1 way. If you don't have stands, use 4x4's nailed perpandicular to the bottom, to a 2x6 10 ' long as a sleeper under the boat with a little piece of plywood on the top as a pad. If you use wood instead of stands use an extra set of blocks. 1 set every 10 feet. Or rent/ buy stands.
