I've seen trailer-sailors with as much as 40% of the hull hanging
off the bunks. You may simply want to install longer bunks. I
really feel that 100# tongue weight is the extreme limit for a
P15. Again, try to keep as much gear aft of the axle as
possible, and don't load the tongue with accessories like spare
tire, swing-away wheel, outboard, etc.

Safe towing,
Bill Longyard
