have you got a means of balancing the boat on the trailer when the engine (incl warning bag round the prop !) is attached ? I don't know how much boat towing you have done, but you need to prevent hull movement under acceleration or braking by having restraining straps diagonally, not just "up and over"

It's hard to see from your pic but it looks as if the bow is already up again to front trailer stem.

If the load on the ball is too much, then you might have to adjust the postion of the axle.


An impressive amount of work, and looking good.

If Stratford Marina can't help, then give Alan Stafford at SoS a call. He is really helpful.
