now i wait for the howls of outrage but having worked in 3rd world countries with no facilities the ability to weight the job up and get it done is what made my fortune

with the boom in compression you are putting extra load on gooseneck - better make sure it is up to the job ...
Is the boat still on the water or on land?
If it is on land then, it might be easier to use a scaff tower either side (if you have room)

The originator of this thread asked for advice and got it. Mostly it suggested caution and safety. The advice was offered to him, not you and it is up to him to condemn it if he chooses. I just don't see how you can criticize advice to someone to be careful when there is no reason not to be.
For you to cite 3rd world countries as an example of how anything should be done is ludicrous. [And, by the way, you are not the only one with experience there.] In the 3rd world overloaded ferries capsize, badly constructed buildings collapse, poorly maintained airliners crash, pipelines burst, people die of diseases and starvation. Most of these calamities occur through corruption and incompetence. Life is cheap there and no-one is called to account.
May I suggest, with respect, that a little less macho posturing and a bit more reasoned advice might be more useful.

Caution is good .... but .....
What is the problem ? Skipper Stu and I seem to concur that it is feasible .... and to be quite honest I concur with his sentiments ...... the so-called "experts" on this forum etc. say a lot ..... is it really based on personal experience or what they think ????????? Bet no answer other than "expert" advice again .....
If I was there I would do the lift for "original poster" with boom etc. - unfortunately I'm not ..............

small crane
i like this idea much more.
Incidentally, the greater risk than it dropping and smasshing is that is smashes things a little bit, with swinging this way and that. Cockpit especially can look as tho a very big fight with winch handles has taken place, so protecting other gear with blankets is a good idea as the thing comes out.
