[QUOTE="WV1951, post: 449963, member: 23206"] Assuming you have an adjustable winch mount, I would first experiment with moving the boat back just a bit on the trailer since you have your trailer frame at the transom now. You could extend your bunks to match and then check your tongue weight. Every inch you move it will take weight from the tongue and add to the part behind the wheels, which will add up in a hurry. Might be surprised what only 6 inches will do. With four 2x4's as bunks, they would easily hold the transom weight, although remember that your rollers in the middle of the trailer support most of the boat's weight. [/QUOTE]
