I'm no expert, but I would definitely use two hoisting points, and do NOT use any hull fittings. Lift from straps under the hull.

I say take a couple of 3 strand nylon ropes and send them through a pulley system to lift the boat. Simple and safe. Just make sure to get a rope with a maximum load of at least 6000 pounds.
