I think my boat is to far forward on the trailer. I have owned only one other trailer boat and it was even with the back of the trailer. Are jetboats loaded dif. than other boats?

When the bow of your boat is against the bow roller/stop, the aft end of the trailers' bunks should be pretty much flush with the transom.I think my boat is to far forward on the trailer. I have owned only one other trailer boat and it was even with the back of the trailer. Are jetboats loaded dif. than other boats?
I hope that makes sense.
Having the boat too far forward will increase the tongue weight and not support the hull properly. Remember - you're not using some generic trailer. The bunks on your trailer were designed and placed for a specific boat - YOURS!
Not to say it would happen, but an improperly loaded/supported boat hull can develop a "hook" or a "rocker".
