Of course you can!  And to prove it all you'll need to do is get
started, because after that you're committed. ;-)

Seriously, it doesn't sound as though it's out of your league at all,
and you may tell SWMBO I said so.  *Do* remember that heavy things
fall, and don't be underneath them when they do.  If you build a
little frame over the motor hatch to hang a come-along from (very
convenient, all that flat area), might pay to have someone standing
by with a safety line taking up the slack, as come-alongs have been
known to miss engagement occasionally.

Yours,
David
