shop with a fork lift. pull off motor. build a wooden bunk on the forks built to allow the bow to be chained to the top of the fork lift pillar. tilt boat to allow access to 90% of hull then place on big saw horses to paint the remaining parts of hull. I have in the past lifted the boat with straps placed so they could be painted after the hull is back on trailer. measure twice paint once lol. or lift one side with a engine hoist whilst straping down the other. spray & repeat. hope that helps. safety first then git er done
with the fork lift approach from the stern block and strap the transom secure to the fork bunk. tilting lifts the bow.
