Ayuh,.... Sure, so long as you've got clearance for the tow unit to turn,...

The weight will be more forward, but with that tiny boat, it shouldn't matter much,...

Just lobe off the bunks at the transom, 'n I'd think yer Good to Go...

Could also look for a shorter trailer. One that fits the boat better.

Re: Help trailer

With a trailer tongue as short as that one it will turn very fast while backing up. Be sure to keep a close eye on it so you don't get jack knifed.

Can you not just put the boat and trailer in the garage at an angle?
