One other thought re: your trailer swaying. You might check where on the
trailer the boat is sitting. By moving the bow stop you can change the weight
distribution. It was recommended somewhere that you use a bathroom scale
under the front wheel of the trailer to determine how much weight is on the
tongue. I'm not certain, but I don't think you want it to be more than 50
pounds or so and you certainly don't want it to be too light. Just a thought.

Others might be able to recommend the exact weight that should be on the
tongue.

Good to hear. Any advice on what sort of mounting system you used?
