Default New trailer

I am new to power boats and trailering in general but just bought new
EZLoader trailer for my 20' Tolman skiff I am building. The ad for the
trailer said it was for 18'-20' boats. By using the maximum
adjustments on the trailer, I will be able to get it so the transom is
about 10" aft of the end of the trailer (end of the bunks). Is this
too much over the end? I might be able to extend the bunks so they
extend aft of the end of the trailer by 4" and I think I can move the
wheel/axle assembly aft 4". The total weight of the motor(s) will be
about 400 lbs on the transom. Is thsi trailer too small?
Unfortunately, I bought the trailer from a dealer in Tampa and had to
drive from Tallahassee to there and back to get it (a 4.5 hour drive).
