[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 490814, member: 21536"] To me the overriding priority is to have at least 10% - 15% of the total boat/trailer weight on the tongue. Either put the bow mount where it needs to be to do that or move the axle. If you are moving things forward, you may be OK -- fingers crossed. I can't think of a serious problem with the rear trailer frame extended back beyond the transom so long as the outboard doesn't hit it. Seems it would be deep enough during launch and retrieval to not get in the way. You might forget and bang your shins, but that will only happen a couple of times. Lol. [/QUOTE]
