<< All this discussion of trailers, crappy and otherwise, makes me wonder if
any P-15 folks have a problem with the back-end swaying on the road -- I
think I have too much weight back there, in that I have a Honda 2HP and a
couple of gallons of gas hanging off the transom. >>

Leonard,

I found with both the P-15 and the HMS-18 that if the rig gets weighted too
far aft I get sway, especilly at high speeds. It is amazing how little weight
makes a difference, but heavier forward will usually take care of the sway.
