East Coasties and Web Gang:

I've received a few emails about P15s and the Garges trailer. It seems I am
not the only one who has noted what appears to be excessive tongue weight
for a boat around 500lbs. Of the responses so far, only one person with a
1997 P15 and Garges trailer has tongue weight below 80lbs. There is another
individual who moved their winch mast back further than mine and their
tongue weight is now below 100lbs. So, I will try moving the winch mast
back a bit more. I'm just not crazy about the idea of having more "boat"
hanging off the back of the trailer. If I can get the tongue weight below
100lbs, I'll be happy with it.
