Great looking rig Top!! :cool-smiley-027: :Score-101010:

Trailer looks more like it was built for a 27 ft boat that a 31. I agree with those above that you'd like to have at least 1000 lbs or more tongue weight..............typically shoot for 10% if possible. Now that you have the trailer I guess if you have the weight capacity you could always add a ballast tank filled with water up on the tongue........it would have to be pretty big though, you'll need around 100 gallons to get near your 10% figuring you only have 280 lbs now. If you wanted to be slick about it you could rig up a pump to also use for wash downs or engine flushing at the ramp although I guess you might use up all your tongue weight doing that :)

LOL that's the weirdest fix for tongue weight I've ever heard. :eek: :angry-smiley-044:

That trailer looks way to small for that boat.

2008 Myco
 

Scrap that little trailer, Even if you move the axles you will still have a trailer that looks to short for your Cig. I have this 2008 Aluminum Myco for sale that is set up for a 32 V bottom Velocity. 2008 15000# 16" tires TRIPLE axle, surge disk on two axles/drive guard/twin spares with covers/ twin SS tool boxes/bow ladder/12 bunks/ fenders/winch/tongue lift and bow stop painted yellow. Cost 18K selling for 12.5K and never in salt. Remember "Pull it in style"

Wayne - I know this isn't what you want to hear but I also think that trailer is way too small in all aspects - length, and size of the I-beams. I ordered mine through HI-TECH and they called me when they realized the weight of a CIG and told me they were going to have to upgrade I-Beams.

BUT - to your original question - what about adjusting your hitch height? Not a good solution but MIGHT get you some more tongue weight.

Trailer....too small

Sorry Wayne, but you got screwed on that trailer.

Who built it? They have no idea what they are doing.

The bunks should fully support the transom and have trailer beams under them. The trailer is too short, sorry. You need a longer trailer.

wannabe

Hard to tell from your picture but could you remove axle #1 and leave #2 and #3 in place then put #1 behind axle #3 essentially making only one new set of holes in your trailer? The fender will have slide back a spot also but it would seem like the least amount of work.

I didn't realize a 31 Bullet got that heavy! How much did the trailer weigh?
