[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Launching and Retrieving

[Steve]

Sounds like this could cause your trailer to start
floating.  I wouldn't worry so much about having the
boat so far forward.  If your toungue is to light from
the boat being to far back; load up your Vberth.  I
have always used a steep ramp and have never had
problems.
