Hey Jerry! What kind of boat trailer do you have? We have ways to convert utility trailers to add crossbars with item # MPG475 but I do not think this set up is going to work with a boat trailer.
Is there any way to move the bunks in? Like a new attachment point to mount bunks using the Swivel Bracket Assemblies item # CE10000G-4 you were looking at.
You can comment below with this information.

Hey Jerry, did you have a chance to check if you could move the bunks using the Swivel Bracket Assemblies? I'm asking because it might help others who are trying to haul a kayak on a boat trailer.
