Even though the reversed boat would form a boat-tail; aero trailers need a wedge shaped front to accommodate turns anyway, so I'd just lift the boat and turn it over and treat the transom as a Kamm-back. Skin the top of the frame with 1/4" ply and the bottom with 1/8" and fill the cavities with foam to get a stiff floor with least weight; and add a 1 1/2-2' wall to get some space inside.
Do you have any way to draw that design suggestion?
