i used a friends once to tow a car back to chi town from ma...once i loaded the car on the trailer it got really bouncy,i pulled over at a rest stop and moved the car back on the trailer and that took care of the bouncy ride..

Try re-setting the tongue weight, i bet your boat mat be to far forward on your trailer..

You guys are right on the money I moved the hitch 2 slots lower and it was WAAAAY better. Not perfect but figuring a heavy load like that isn`t ever gonna ride great.

Theres a stretch of Highway that is uneven by my house, every trailer i have bounces there, this time I didn`t even notice it.

Thanx!

I have the weight distributing Hitch and mine tows like its on rails. And I am way heavier then you. It rides better with the boat on the back then without.

I thought i had some pics of that but I can't find them. I hope I won't be hooked up to the trailer until fall again. Boat is in the Marina on the lift. If I find the pics I will post them
