Well you have to jack it up and put on stands, then you need to loosen all the Ubolts for the springs and fenders, slide all forward how far is the issue, to far the trailer will be all over the road when you get going,.

They say 10% of the rig should be the tounge weight. So the boat is like 2200, trailer 1000, motor and ect.. 1000 you have a 4000 rig 10% is 400 pounds.

as far as the boat hitting the PVC sounds like the bunks need to be higher?? You will have to measure how much when the boat is on trailer, then remove the boat and go to work.

I dont know if you can move the springs and axle forward
do it if you can
if you cant i dont know what you should do
but ill tell you one thing
thats a great looking boat you have there
maybe if you adjust the woodrails you can advoid getting damage to the hull and live with the weight prooblem
you definitly wont fishtail

When the boat is at rest on the trailer like in the picture does it touch the PVC??

And all newer trailers are adjustable as far as front and back on the axle. I would try it 12" at a time, use a square to get both sides aligned. 7 to 10 % is the weight to shoot for.
