Following Mike's suggestion, I moved my winch stand about a foot closer to the coupler. Cranked the boat forward with the winch (roller trailer). I lost use of my last set of side rollers with the move, but it seems stable on the trailer. Much harder to raise the tongue with the jack now.
Using my a#$ gage to determine a spring rate, I have about 375 lbs on the ball now. A quick test drive...seems much more stable. Yea!

No, John. Heading to Guy Brothers to have the G2 programmed and the steering bled, and any updates it needs. Might get it wet this weekend if things go well. I think I plugged all the holes in the hull...might float?
