That much weight on the tongue isn't good, should be less than 30% of that. The boat is definitely too far forward on the trailer from your description. If there's no room to move her back, the trailer is mismatched with the boat. Is the trailer a roller or bunk model? How far back on the trailer is the boat? Take a few images from the rear and of the tongue and post them, please.
It is a roller model, and the boat and trailer came from a dealer in minnesota, i dont know how it would be allowed to be sold like that??
The boat is all the way back on the trailer, so i think its the axle like Steve says.
It appears the axle is too far back on the trailer frame.
The guy i bought it from used larger tow vehicles that were capable of higher tongue weights so he didnt notice it.. supposedly..
