no worries trev, it must be the aspect of the photo not doing it justice, second pic looks good, mudguards are flash!
gary, i agree, too much weight on hitch is a pain in the freckle, however i was concerned about the distance from the hitch to the axle. the balance of the boat weight over the axle is different to the distance from hitch to axle. that is the concern to stop the trailer "fishtailing" down the road at higher speed
cheers guys
