Ric,
Here is a diagram of the trailer posted some time ago:

Alex tried to post this photo, not sure it came through on the list.  Scroll down to find the photo:

It shows a fairly well loaded trailer.  My rule of thumb is to get the rear of the rear most port over the axle.  I too, have never had a problem getting the boat too far forward.  Now too far back can be dangerous as was pointed out.

This is a timely discussion. 
I just bought a trailer from Mike Weisner (WindLass - Nissequogue, NY ). 
I don’t need a new project, but for $400 and after a long trip, it was hard to refuse.
I never had a trailer, always had it hauled to and from my driveway for $160 ea way. 
Now I have a project and an empty rusty trailer to store and look at all summer.  
Its far from ready, so I’ll use my hauler to launch and hopefully Haul it in the fall on a refurbished trailer. 
If anyone can include some photos of what a single axle trailer is supposed to look like, I would greatly appreciate it.
