My problem is when I'm loading my boat on the trailer I can snub it up on the bow stop, but as the boat settles down on the trailer it pulls back. Not necessarially a lot but 3 to 4 inches. This moves the balance point back also. From looking at some of your letters about centering your boats on the trailer and how high they seem to float above your bunks do you have the same bow problem I have. Thanks Jim from Mo.
