I was thinking of only raising the hull height by a few inches and maybe making some "socks".

My biggest problem is (I think) that the box of the trailer frame (the rectangular rear part of the trailer) is not long enough for rails to properly support for the beams. I may have to get creative. Example: length from outside rear beam to outside front beam is 86 inches, but the outside of the trailer from rear to where it starts to turn inward to the tongue is only 59 inches. meaning my rails would overhang the end supports by 13.5 inches on each end. And hang off the back of the trailer.

I may have to go back to Kirt's plans, but put the front crossbar (that goes between the beam supporting uprights) low enough so that my spi pole clears it.

Once I get back from vacation, I'll put some more thought into it.
