yeah, i am aware of that method. The boat's in a storage yard with an uneven dirt floor, so it might be a little challenging, but it could probably be made to work. I know the Previous Owner did not load the boat right since my car dives way too low when I towed it... I'll have to spend some time adjusting it (this is my first boat, so the scale will at least get a few uses until i get the feel for it)

I'm also trying to finishing up my O/B stand in time to haul the boat home this weekend to remove the motor and get to work. I really don't have the time to go out and buy the 4x4, pipe, measure the tongue, cut everything, etc because doing so would mean another weekend delay. Its just a question of time vs money. Thanks for the reply!
