"jlaustin" - envious of the building!
I sort-of do the same for my 250# SG hitch using the HF electric hoist.
Back under, install or remove - drive out.
(The hoist isn't permanently mounted - so it can be "hung" inside or outside.)
Why limit yourself to the "range" of the crane?
Since you already have the hoist - how about an overhead "trolly" system?
While it was intended for heavy engines - used a shop once with that setup via chain hoist.
Drove in one end with pickup & ski boat. Removed rebuilt V8 from pickup bed, rolled back (via o/head trolly) to hitched ski-boat, lowered into boat.
Never unhitched or moved the pickup or boat.
Drive out the other end.
The trolly also had a turn - so the engine (or?) could be "flown" over to a work area before lowering. Very slick.
