Hello all, I am converting a utility trailer to a boat trailer and want to keep it fairly original as I plan to be hauling some light stuff (besides the boat)with it also. Here is the trailer: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_7262_7262. Adding a longer tongue is going to be the easy part, attaching the bunk board brackets is the hard part. Here is what they look like: http://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Roller-Board-Brackets-81210/dp/B002MYTV7U. The brackets affix with a U-bolt around the frame. The problem is that the frame on my trailer is in an open "P" shape (see below). My question is how do I attach these brackets without bending my trailer frame up? The loop of the bolt would have to go over the flap (the in side) and the bracket on the flat side (the out side) I think.

The boat by the way is a 12 foot flat bottom Jon boat. I am also adding DIY guards on the back and a DIY post up front to tie the boat to.
