I have a 16ft landau with a 25hp 4 stroke motor and recently had a hitch rated at 3500 lbs installed on a 1997 toyota avalon xle. the car seems to pull the boat without any issues but it takes 2 men to lift the boat off the hitch ball and the tongue sits so low that the retractable front wheel that the boat will rest on when unhitched doesn't have enough clearance to reach the pavement so we have to lift the tongue manually up in air to disengage the wheel and place it down. i've considered replacing the wheel with a pad to lessen the overall length but it bothers me that the tongue is that heavy. can the boat be repositioned on trailer so that it extends toward the back more or is there an easier solution. thanks much!!
