Default painting my JS550 QUESTION

I have it all sanded and ready to paint...the guy painting it wants to 'hang' it by the nose. Is that ok for it to be at that angle that long? The gas tank and battery are not in it. Not sure what other fluids could move around..
Will it be too much weight on the hole?

From a physics/engineering perspectice I can't give a quantitative answer, but I get a bad gut feeling about doing that.

If it was mine I dont think I'd want to hang it from the bow with the engine still in it. That's a lot of stress on that hole.
