LOL Standard, yeah thats the funny part of your post...

Pics Sir, only way we can help you out, we need a pic of the whole trailer, the hinge points and where you lock it closed, any other places where you can think of that will need reinforced as well but were likely to ask for more after you have supplied the first set.

Shouldn't be too difficult at all as Bond-o said, some idea of your capabilities would help as well or are you looking to have this done for you, your location may help also

Re: boat trailer convertion

You don't need to do anythng with the tilt mechanism. Just don't use it. My suggestion is to go to a boat dealer and look at new/used trailers to see what you need to do. There is no such thing as "standard" when it comes to trailers. A trailer for a "V-drive" is very different in that area than one for an I/O. A cross member for a shallow "V" hull vs one for a "deep V-hull" are also very different. We don't even know what type of boat you have.
