Here is my 1973 V20

Took another look at the pic of your setup. I think you may need to do both: i.e. move the winch post forward on the longer tongue and move the axles back. The bulk of your weight (i.e. the stern with the motor, battery, etc.) are pretty far off the back of the trailer frame. You can probably slide those back bunks forward too. Good luck. Again, however, check out the capacity of the trailer if you can before you get into the time and expense of modifications.

I have quite the project on my hands but it keeps me out of trouble! (for the most part) Nipper, thanks for you advice. I looked ot the capacity of my trailer and it say that it is rated for 5000lbs. However, I am not sure if that is correct. t seems a bit much. I will continue to research that. I plan on taking my time with this project so before I put too much $ into it I will make sure that it is worth it. On the up-side I only live 3 miles fro the ocean so I would not need to pull the boat far at first,

when I bought my boat I had a 4000 trailer I replaced tires bigger, springs bigger, axle bigger to 5000 and used it for 6 years, then sold it for 700 and bought a nice new tandam, you will be fine!! I also got a longer tounge at the time
