Won't need sand to get it home, Motor Stand sounds like what you need
once it have it and want to work on it outside of the motor.   

I'd say (w/ the seat Up) lay a moving quilt in the back and get some
help to lift in over the rear hatch sill , wrap the blanket over the top
of it and if possible wedge some foam or what ever around it. As long as
it doesn't lay over too far it shouldn't leak too much.
