Smoke, I'm sorta in the same boat (so to speak). My tongue weight is set for 10% DRY weight (no gear, fuel or ice) in my driveway. I know that after adding the fuel etc, it's going to change slightly, but not enough to effect my trailering. Plus I use 2 belly straps (one in the back, one over the bow just in front of the windshield. So I know I'm safe, and will have a good trip to the launch ramp and back.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
