I do have options for you to use guide-ons like the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons part # CE27640 on your boat trailer but as I am sure you can see, the step platforms are going to interfere with the u-bolts which wrap around the frame and are used to hold the brackets for the guide-ons. Therefore, you can either remove them, weld the brackets to the frame which would then eliminate the need for u-bolts, or you can just move the guide-ons up further on the trailer but this would mean they are less effective.
I don't have any other options for you unfortunately.
