What seemed like a simple problem (how to get the boat off the trailer and turned over), turned out to require a little bit of thinking. These boston whalers weigh 350 lbs dry, so not terribly heavy, but still need 3 or 4 people to lift.
After watching some amateur DIYer YouTube (awesome stuff by the way), and after picking up 8 milk crates the plan was to lift the boat on to the milk crates and 2x4's and slide the trailer out from underneath. This took a little bit of time since we could only slide the trailer out 6-8 inches at a time and then reposition the boat - this was because the 2x4's and crates weren't wide enough to allow the trailer to slide out.
Once the boat was off the trailer, 3 neighbours helped to the turn the boat over, walk it into the garage and on to the milk crates. Worked like a charm and just like the internet promised.
