I just "modified" an IO trailer for my inboard. There are a few things to keep in mind. 1. Is the boat v drive or a direct drive? I ask this bc of the weight distribution. If it's a dual axle trailer it is probably irrelevant. If it is a singe axle, it is a big deal because it may be a challenge to get the boat positioned properly for toung weight purposes. 2. You will probably have to build up the bunks as well as maybe move them. Your boat probably has skegs on the bottom, so you need to get those so they won't hit. 3. I skipped the prop guard. I know, people probably will say this is dumb, but I don't need it. My prop is sitting higher off the ground than most bc of the way I built up my bunks. 4. The way mine is presently set up, you could not use a fake a lake bc the fitting on the hull is real close to the bunks. 5. Find a trailer where the piece at the front that the bow sits on can be moved the most. If this is fixed, be sure that you could cut it off and fasten it in a different location. I lucked out, i was able to simply move mine forward and flip a piece upside down. 6. One caveat; my boat is used in fresh water so I don't have the salt concern. Make sure that you construct this thing in a manner that it is likely to hold up after being dunked in salt.
