i dont think you have enough length to just install a drive guard. i think widening and adding a little length would work just fine.

How much room do you need between trailer and props to be safe?
I would do it like on your picture ,,,its not that hard.
Since yours is side by side.

But then on the other hand your boat floats way above the trailer when loading,,,?????

To be safe i would widen it !!!!

Since you are cutting out the cross member u can use that mat ., and your light bar can be modified as the new one !!!

Not that bad .
Take your time and do it right !!!!!

Since your trailer won't have a lot of overhang even with the guard, make sure you can raise and lower drives with gate shut.
