Custom Built Trailers, for a specific Boat/Hull, are usually non-adjustable
Could you post a few Pictures of your Boat on the Trailer?
Only 2 pictures I have on the trailer are from just before I picked it up.. reason I really think it’s custom built is the lighting is built into the running boards like many equipment trailers and I can’t say I’ve ever seen a boat trailer built to that high of a quality

That looks like an Adjustable Trailer. The Winch Stand has to be raised a considerable amount to get the Bow Stop about the Eye, as you also want the Winch Line pulling Horizontally not up or down as it passes under the Bow Stop(you might have to wrap the Winch Strap/Cable the opposite direction on the Winch Drum, which will have you cranking the Winch the other Direction).
I had to have my Winch Stand reconfigured by the Dealer after delivery so the Winch Strap was feeding off the Drum more Horizontally.

I actually had the entire Trailer reconfigured.

I’m hoping that I can get the winch stand raised up. I remember looking at the u bolts for it and it’s pretty crusty. Trailer is 99% excellent shape but you can kinda see the rust in that one picture. I have another trailer I could take another winch stand off of if I needed to
