    "Bostin?" Yikes.

    You shouldn't have to remove the shaft to pull the inboard. Just slide the shaft down and as far out of the way as it will go before the prop hits the rudder. The stuffing box will keep the seal.

    You've got just a few more months of sailing weather. I'd say run with an OB as needed and do this job on the hard.

    Good Luck,

    Mike
