There's been many discussions here on trailering and tongue weight. I saw this and found it interesting...

Very interesting..... and very real. My old boat towed like the version without the tongue weight. It was extremely difficult to correct. I had to shift the batteries forward for towing.

You can move your boat forward/back by 3 cm and greatly affect your weight distribution. Just un bolt your winch mast and move in appropriate direction.
