[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 490059, member: 22613"] Extend the tongue, the weight will be distributed better on the axle. Most of the weight on the boat is in the stern, the bow is light. The axle needs to be pretty far back to keep at least 10% of the total weight on the tongue. It'll also make launching easier for you, won't have to back in as far or dunk your tow vehicle, and longer trailers are easier to back. [/QUOTE]
