light trailer tongue weight

Dang, Mike.. Sorry to hear more troubles!! That sucks. Let us know if you need anything. And since you had fuel in it and towed it.. Did you hit the water?

ye we've had it in twice tanks weren't full then I filled them and added stable for the winter, 2 months. I might be able to move the boat a couple inches forward but thats all and that requires some welding

thanks I'll try that. it would be the easiest

I've had some tough trips with LOW tongue weight, it can cause the trailer to WHIP really bad... I have also seen some bad accidents over the years from low or negative tongue weight situations, careful...

Good suggestions above...

Put the spare up front, have about 50lbs of archers and beach ties secured under the bow, definitely heaver tongue weight, took it for a test at 70 no shimmy or back and forth movement. Temp fix, also not putting 400 lbs of gas will help. we can move the boat about 2" forward with some welding and 1 " without welding I'll try that first I hope that will do it. I won't be able to launch with the f100 I was spinning the tires at the stop signs. not going to take a chance and tow it on 40 with the f100 we'll use the 250 and keep it down to 65/55 in cal still bringing the truck not all done but almost there
