Boat is a 1680 landau tunnel hull with pods on the back. It’s very light, no motor, yet. Probably going to go with a 18hp Mercury I have. How boat would be positioned if it were up to the bow stopper has the pods up on the trailer and the skeg of my motor hits the back cross member of the...

I thought about the flex as well, and I could use angle iron so that shouldn’t flex much at all. Plus the bow stop doesn’t need to get winched so hard that it bows much. I know I’d like the look of it better if I moved it, but I’m a bit leery about damaging the tongue?

What’s your thinking behind that? I think it’ll look funny, most boats are a lot closer to the winch stand, but I’m certainly open to extending it just curious why?

I just picked this up and in order to get the boat where it should be on the trailer the winch stand needs to be moved back 18”. Unfortunately it’s welded onto the tongue of the trailer. Is it better to just cut the welds and move the entire stand, or can I extend out the bow stopper?
