Here's a site that shows how a boat should fit the trailer. Note that the
transom is just behind (an inch or two) the last roller. This makes sense as the
transom carries a lot of weight. When I purchased my boat, the dealer had set it
up so the transom extended about 18" behind the last roller. The tongue weight
was only about 80 lbs! The instruction manual for the trailer showed the correct
setup, but I guess dealers know better. Luckily, the guy I bought the boat from
had used the trailer only to get from the dealer to the marina.
What site??? Do they show trailerable sailboats where a lot of the
weight is in the centerboard?
