I have an Expedition too. The first time I adjusted my trailer to make it fit in the garage easier I couldn't open the lift gate in back. That sucked. I moved it back the extra couple inches an it's worth it for the convenience.
Don't move the boat, move the axle. The boat must be positioned with support under the transom or hull damage may result.
Right now my bunks are about 1 foot past my transom.
I am a newbie at this trailer stuff so listen to others first. I consider the minimum safe distance to be that a 90 degree jack knife can't touch the tow vehicle. I know I am never going to turn a corner that is going to require more than that.
it's when the front tires of the tow rig go up a steep driveway and the rear ones drop down before going up into a gas station that you could find trouble

As long as none of the boat is in front of the ball, it won't hit anything in a sharp turn either. :joyous:
That is the key dimension!
If you cant open the hatch; you're too close.
