Can you show us some pictures? Plenty of boats have a traveller in that location and I'm a believer in end-boom sheeting and travelers in reach in cockpit. Perhaps a traveler can be adapted at the present location..
Moving sheets to mid boom requires more purchase, possible boom reinforcement and less convenient adjustment, esp with wheel steering that keeps you in the back of the boat.
There are several threads on this topic so maybe do a search and you'll get some other ideas.
