+1 - We did the same as Derek, it worked fine, just be careful of pinch points.

Put blocks under the transom, jack the front up until the weight is on the blocks, pull the trailer out, lower front onto another block. 10 minutes.

Vincent showed me this trick a couple years ago. It works like a charm. I do this now just to replace peoples bunks on trailer and the boat and trailer never have to leave the shop.

I agree to use the assistance of a marina, most have hydraulic trailers as well. You can but your boat in the water, and they can bring it to your home with a hydro trailer and block up if you are uncomfortable leaving it there.
