My best quote is a little under $600 for the removal of the old engine and the new engine to go in.
I moved mine out with boom and the main sheet line, with my father in law. Went OK. We dropped it into one of these marina "plastic cart", then dragged it up the inclined dock to ground level; it was pretty light for the application, but worked OK. If you have to go across a private yard, it is feasible, but you need a solid cart without small wheel. I put in back in with the yard crane 125$, but I was alone in the boat to receive it... Whatever you do, do not use the hook on top of the engine, unless it is a modified / improved one.
