No offence meant, Paulg25, but from the nature of your question I have deduced that you may not be a person of practical bent, who could execute many the suggestions in the above posts. Hence I would suggest that you buy a trailer to suit your boat, have it loaded on at its present location and towed to your home, thereby avoiding the alterations and damage to your garden necessitated by other solutions. When said trailer is in position, jack it up on some breeze blocks topped with stout pieces of timber, (the wood prevents the breeze blocks being split by the trailer chassis), and remove and store the wheels under cover.
You can find suitable used trailers on www.Apolloduck.com or similar websites, at quite reasonable prices in the context of the cost of your boat, and after all, you are in the happy position of not having to pay out for winter storage elsewhere. Keeping the boat on a trailer also removes the necessity of hiring a crane, with the consequence of further damage to your garden when the time comes to bring the boat to the water, (and bring it home again at the end of next season!).
I'm not sure you're "a person of practical bent"! The OP is talking about potentially a 37ft cruiser, that's not a "buy a trailer" job, it's a professional boat transport operation.
