I don't understand why everyone has an aversion to getting their tow  
vehicles wet? I've had my truck so far in I had water coming in the drivers  door.

David,  

You need to increase the safety chain length.  Also, be sure that  the
extension and the receiving tube do not rust too much as they will  weaken
and bend making it impossible to reinsert the extension.   Pleased don't ask
how I know this.

We launch our boat in Southport, NC at a nice ramp but angle  is just shy to
easily get the boat in.   I need about another  foot in the water.  I get
the tires just to the edge.  The full  tongue extension is overkill and time
consuming for us.  I took the  boat to the trailer guy who drilled holes and
extended the tongue 18  inches.  I leave it set here.

Since we drive it 100 yard from the  lot,  I don't see an issue with this
middle placement.

Anyone  else done this?

I would recommend trailering a significant distance  under these
circumstances.
