STAN!!!! Be very careful with that boom extended fully.  It will tip over. 
Do you have extendable legs on the hoist and are they extended?  I wear a 
damaged LR fender on my 250 as reminder of a stupid moment I had moving an 
engine on an extended boom with the legs fully in. The boom tipped over and 
hit the side of the 250.
