[Rhodes22-list] Axle locattion

[Graham Stewart]

I just measured the location of my axle and compared it to the drawings prepared by Todd and found that my axle is 7" forward of what the drawings specify. That strikes me as a pretty significant difference. I am wondering if the others who have found it impossible to get their boats far enough forward might also measure the distance between the back of their trailer to the center of the axle to see if this is the reason for the difficulty. The drawing stipulates that this distance should be 70" but mine is 77". 

Does anyone know whether this dimension changed at some time between older and newer iterations of the boat?
