Mercruiser 3.0 engine removal, coupler replacement approx cost

I feel that I should replace the coupler on a 3.0 sitting in a Bayliner Capri. I am mechanically inclined enough and actually have an alignment bar in addition to everything else required including trolley hoist. 15K #’s rated.

I’m debating doing it myself or having a shop do it.

Does anyone have a rough approx idea of how many book hours this calls for or a approx cost? I need to determine if eating up a weekend is worth it or if not having the boat for a few weeks is worth the cost.
 
remove the drive, prep motor about an 1 -1/2 hr , raise motor up , R/R coupler, put motor back in , align if necessary, install drive
Maybe 4-5 hrs depending on your tools, speed, knowledge
