[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 380721, member: 16518"] I'm trying not to sound stupid, but I don't see how I could do that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5v35csc.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0JtkCFW.jpg[/img] When you say "forward" you mean towards the tow vehicle, correct? If I move the boat forward, even 8", thats going to increase my tongue weight. This will be offset slightly with the fuel in the back, but not THAT much. And its getting me above the tongue weight my civic can support (100lbs). Whole reason I pursued this boat was because it could be towed with our second car while our van tows our camper for camping / fishing trips. Would replacing the bunks with 1 foot longer towards the back bunks and putting the cross bar on the post resolve this issue as well? Why is leaning the post forward so important? [/QUOTE]
