There's another root cause of the problem. I am simply amazed what people get told by dealers. I mean, its like they never ran a boat or pulled a trailer in their life for some of the crap these dealers will tell you.....Rant over...I was told, by the dealer the problem with the post to far up was weight on the back of your vehicle. I doubt a boat that size is going to have much weight to it. I suspect you will do more damage to your vehicle then the boat on a sharp turn. Keep in mine when backing up your looking back over the trailer. Just my 2 cents worth.
You can have too little weight on the ball and that will cause squirrely things on the highway. But really you can't have too much - yes unless if it exceeds the specs for the hitch.
If you pull with a pickup or an SUV, there must be enough clearance for the tailgate or hatch to operate full up or down, as the case may be. Also, If a full wheel locked turn causes a collision, then its too close.
All mute points anyway - the OP trailer looks like its more suited to a jetski. But only the specs will tell us for sure.
