Dual axle boat trailers normally need no more than 3% tongue weight.

That has *not* been my experience, at least not for interstate highway
speeds. After a lot of tuning I ended up with around 7or 8% before I
felt comfortable with my old boat/trailer combo. Proper tire
inflation on both truck and trailer is important also.

My last trailer manual recommended between 6% - 10%. I opted for 8%, which
put me about 420lbs.
