I decided on a solution. Those of you who recommended a hinge won me over after I realized my memory was poor and that my trailer tongue has a 3"x5" section. I purchased a Fulton hinge on Amazon for $84. I decided to cut 14" out of the tongue while installing the hinge.

The boat is now in my garage with the door closed. The boat's windshield cleared the garage door frame by 1/2". I have about 3.5' between the back wall of the garage and the transom; just enough to allow me to replace my bellows and gimbal bearing over the winter as long as I don't try to stand up under the swim platform.

Thanks to all for your advice.
