East Coasties and Web Gang:

I'd like to know what the tongue weight is of folks who have 1994 or
newer P15s with the Garges trailer. I weighed mine today (using,
admittedly, a questionable digital scale) and am showing 145lbs tongue
weight. That seems WAY too much for this size boat and trailer. Thing
is, the tongue is pretty short and there isn't much further to go back
with the winch mast..

What tongue weights are you folks registering out there, and how have
you been able to successfully lower it? I certainly do not want to
duplicate experiences with my Bonneville that I shared earlier.
