I'm in the process of buying a 1990 25-foot Wellcraft Sportsman which
comes with a 32-roller Karavan tandom-axle trailer that looks like it
also is about 25 feet long. I noticed today that the stern of the boat
extends about 3 feet past the last roller and the boat has a big 225 HP
outboard. It doesn't look right to me. The current owner left the
boat on a mooring and said not to worry about it - he only used the
trailer twice a year and supported the boat with jack stands during the
winter.

Am I okay to tow it home like this? It's a 25-mile highway tow. Or
should I insist on trying to set things up better first? This would be
kind of a pain where the boat is sitting right now but not impossible.
I could gain maybe a foot of adjustment so the transom will still be
sticking out by 2 feet. Over the winter I will come up with a permanent
solution, perhaps extending the tongue.

Thanks,
Scott
