If it were me, I would pull the boat off the trailer, measure where the new parts were going to be installed to keep the weight balanced with proper tongue weight (Of course the trailer manufacturer might be able to offer up measurements, or copy a similar trailer), cut the old brackets and fenders off, then flip the trailer over. Weld new mounts on, put the axles back under it, and fabricate the new fender corners etc. needed. Paint is a whole other story. As mentioned above you will need brakes if you trailer does not already have them (Could require cutting the tongue off and replacing it). Do you have the tools and skills needed is a better question?? You will need a good welder, some type of cutting tools (Plasma/die grinder etc.), 4-5" grinder, and other assorted items. A broken weld can send your boat into other vehicles, with serious implications. Sure sounds easier and cheaper to sell yours and buy another trailer or carry a spare and deal with what you own.
