Re: '87 wellcraft 26' - its mine - almost :)

I was thinking the tongue weight might be a little light as it started swaying - however, I'd bet just shy of that 800-1000 lbs you mention.... It was smooth as glass stable until the combo of wet, uneven (read had more waves in it than the atlantic), and rutted portions of pavement. Probably only ran into sway for about 1/2 mile - at best. Also - the rear suspension set down about the same as if I were hauling 1/2 ton of soil (don't ask how I know - other than it's only been a couple weeks since I had to do so :) )
But I'll def look into the tongue weight, and adjust as necessary!

Remember: Wellcraft is one word. sooooo Welcome to the CGWOG ! Kevin inherited title of "Grand Poobah " since I sold mine.
Any how tounge weight will help trailer wobble. Alot of people do not consider how much all the "stuff" in thier boats weighs.

Hi All,
Not hi-jacking yer thread, but, this is about the only thread on the entire internet I could find that had more than 5 words and 1 pic of an Antigua!! I just bought one as well. So a2dubnut, how'd she run for you? I found it a bit difficult to keep on plane with a full tank of fuel and 8 people on board.

Well that's nice. I guess you saw this is an old topic. Since the OP hasn't written a word in this one since May 2013, you did hijack it. You could start a new topic with all the words and pics you want, right? That's the thing to do - Start your own odyssey.

My bad all the way. I could've sworn when I looked at the post date, it was just this past May. I'll start a new topic.
