Thomas. I almost always tow with my motor still attached to the stern. I
have a special system of ratchet straps to hold it in place and take any
strain off the mount. Looking at your photos (good looking boat, by the
way!) and comparing to my boat on the same Triad trailer, mine sits about
10" -12" farther forward on the trailer than yours. I've spent quite a bit
of time moving the boat around to find the "sweet spot" and where I have it
seems to be just about right. I can measure from the upright that holds the
adjustable bow chock to the bow of the boat if that helps.
