storage question

I was wondering if anyone knows how much it would cost to store my 30' trojan so I can restore it. I have it here for free but if I can store it cheap enough I will keep it. I am moving and have to remove it. I am in Bridgewater ma.

Engine removal ideas

hi all it's me again, I have another question I am going to be removing the engine from my 1975 30' trojan with twin 318, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on the best way to remove them. I was planning on renting a backhoe but I figured I would ask here first.
thanks.
