go to any metal fab repair shop and have them bend two heavy duty aluminum brackets for you that will fit onto the curved hull and give you a flat mounting surface for the piston to mount to.
I have to ask, why in the world is your boat hull sitting so close to your trailer frame? you should raise it up more to have a good 3" space there. stuff happens and if you ever had a board bracket give way you need a little space to drop before it hits metal so the other brackets can hopefully hold it from hitting metal.
question two is, what in the world is that little round thingy that appears to have been painted over at some point and looks to be leaking water or something based on the hull coloration under it? is it a light or something?
my last suggestion is the back of the transom looks ROUGH very rough so I would suggest you clean it all up and seal all those little holes (above and below waterline) and give it a fresh coat of paint to make it look as good as the rest of the boat.
