Seeker...I had the same trouble as you did so I kinda downsized by laying crete blocks down on a piece of plywood or even plastic with the holes up, cut your boo to 7-8' lengths (makes it more managable) and in each hole put 3 to four pieces. I cut mine at the knuckle and leave 1 or 2 inches of the shoot next to it on for better grip in the cement (cut em off with some side cutters). Fill in around the stalks with cement and move each stalk a bit in the mix to help it settle around it. fill to the top of the hole. I can haul about 8 blocks in my 16' flatbottom. I drop my marker first where I want it and hit the gps then get my blocks up on the gunnels front to back drop them off as they line up front to back. ezpz
