My boat tends to shimmy side to side on the road when I make small steering adjustments at highway speeds. Anyone had this experience or ideas on what could cause it?

Perhaps a bit more tongue weight will help. Also, check that the trailer is level. Then I would weigh the tongue and see if it approximately 10% of the total trailer weight, boat motor and gear included. If it is light, move the boat forward a bit, and try again.
