the bracket could probably be bolted. ~ It's not a bad idea.

==========================================
I would go with bolts, at least for the first iteration. Until you
actually get the boat on the trailer, measure the actual tongue
weight, AND take it for a test ride at highway speed, you won't know
for sure that you've got the right configuration. It's also a good
idea to leave room for the forward post to be adjusted fore and aft
because that's an easier way to make the final adjustments on tongue
weight.
