Should be pretty simple,aluminum trailers have long bunks that can extend way past the transom,or can just be sawed off. I would first put the boat on it as it is and check tongue weight. If it is about right you can leave it alone or saw off the bunks. If you have too much tongue weight move the boat back and move the winch stand back.Should work out fine.

I have a Loadmaster Tri-Axle for my 353, you should call the Loadmaster Office and ask for Gary Sr. He walked me through an adjustment over the phone on a Saturday morning. Great Customer Service.

I'm sure they can tell you what specifically needs to be adjusted to fit the 353.
