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.

I'm thinking of making a mount for the motor on the trailer tongue (I don't
want it in the car) as a way of shifting the weight forward. Has it been
done?
