You'll be shifting the the weight of the boat to your hitch from the trailer axle. Try lifting the boat at the point where you'll be cutting and make sure it isn't significantly heavier. I had a 14' boat that had a trailer with a tongue that wasn't long enough. It was a boat that should have been super light, but was a pain to move because of tongue. It would also bounce really weird while trailering and couldn't open trunk/gate of vehicle. I would NOT shorten the tongue if I were you unless there was no other option.
