Since you'll be moving the motor often, you
might want to poke around www.westmarine.com and see if they make some sort
of collapsible dolly to roll the motor around. Or, modify a hand truck - the
kind used for moving boxes.
==============================

A hand truck works well on my 95#, 15 hp 2 stroke. The problem is
with the lift up onto the tailgate. My 59 y/o back does not like to
do that any more, and it is really a two person job. 60 pounds would
be much more manageable but that will limit you to about 6 hp or less
in a 4 stroke.

My recommendation would be a small trailer where you can leave the
motor mounted all of the time. It's any easy one person job to launch
or retrieve a small boat on a trailer. With rollers you can even
launch it from a beach or some other site without a ramp. You can
also keep all of your gear in the boat without moving things around.
