Re: baby boats
I haven't measured the tongue weight with anything other than the un-scientific looks/feels about right method. I pull the ski's off the bunks when we get home to open them up and let them air out. W/out the skis I would estimate the tongue weight at around 50lbs or less. It is a little dicey if you go climbing up the back of the boat. I have it in the garage now replacing the gimbal bearing, boots, etc. I throw a jack under the trailer just be on the safe side. With the skis on, I guestimate the the tongue weight is in the 400 lbs range. A little on the heavy side, but not too bad. I will be adding a second axle this fall which should really stabilize things.
