Default Moving boat from stands to trailer?

Does anyone have any ideas on getting a 25 - 29 foot boat from stands onto a flatbed trailer
without a crane. I would like to buy the cheapies on Ebay and try to turn a little profit but
getting them is a problem. I have a flatbed trailer and have thought of making a generic
'lift' that I can jack up on site, move the trailer under it and then lower the boat on the trailer.
I have fixed up and sold several boats on Ebay but always ones with swing keels that
have standard boat trailers so I have zero experience with stands, cradles and transporting
larger boats.

Appreciate any experience or tips,
Thanks,
Frank
