[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 398403, member: 11276"] My impression from what I see in the picture. 1st off the trailer looks short for the boat. Axle is fixed and no way to move it forward or back. You will still need to balance the trailer to get the tongue weight correct. Can't tell by the picture how far you could move the winch post forward if at all. That roller under the bow needs to be lowered so that the bow will come all the way up to the stop and the boat still be level. Bunks need to be extended back to the end of the boat. There also appears to be only one roller under that boat. I'd add at least one more. Could also add a second set of short bunks to the rear of the trailer to add more support for the transom. I doubt you have more than 1000lbs on that trailer so I wouldn't worry about capacity. [/QUOTE]
