Very good eyes there garyg! I took this pic as we were loading and unloading at the boat ramp to set the bunks. After I took this picture, we realized that the tongue weight was way too much and moved the boat back about 15 inches and it is perfect now.

    Yes, the rear guide poles do help us alot. The front bunks will guide the bow into the trailer but alot of times for us the aft is still floating and can swing outside the rear bunks before you can winch it up or pull the trailer out of the water. So it stays right in place with these poles.

    Yes, the tongue weight was way off when I took this. We were picking the boat up and had to set the bunks on the trailer. So we kept having to launch her in the water, pull the trailer out, set the bunks, re-pull her onto the trailer, etc. When I got the rear and front bunks set, I stepped back, took the pic, and noticed just how far forward she was!
