[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 490859, member: 21536"] If I'm visualizing this correctly, it seems by moving the boat forward along with the tongue extension you would be adding tongue weight. So, for example, if it was originally 10% you would likely be more than that now. Up to 15% seems to be generally recognized as the upper limit. Weighing the boat is a great idea. Mount the post forward like you say. Put the boat on the trailer with the motor and normal gear. Take it to the scales. Who knows, you may within the 10% to 15% tongue weight target. [/QUOTE]
