I attached some pictures. You might also notice that the center bunks barely come to the end of the transom, and the outer bunks end short of the end of the transom. I'm thinking I probably also need to adjust the winch post forward so the back end of the transom is supported by all of the bunks. Maybe this isn't necessary, but other Tuffy pictures make it look like the short outer bunks and at the transom and the longer center bunks extend past it slightly. The tongue weight seems fairly high, but I'm used to lighter aluminum boats. Was thinking if I moved the winch post ahead, I'd move the axle also, but with the fenders being welded on, I'm guessing there is no moving the axle forward? With all this said I have not measured/weighted the tongue weight yet, and am not nearly as concerned about position on the trailer as I am the center two bunks not touching at the rear of the boat.
