Walt:1) No, you're not. 2) When you get the opportunity to make the changes try to remember to report back with the results.For those who haven't read-up on trailer dynamics this may be of interest: Setting Up A Hitch For The Perfect Tow - Trailering - BoatUS Magazine . I was particularly interested starting at " Tongue weight serves as a proxy measurement for the center of gravity (CG) of your loaded trailer. ".Alan

For those with dual axle trailers, can anyone comment on how the keel is centered, in relation to the axles?
Most, but not all, of the pics I've seen make it look like the keel is more or less centered on the axles. Will this get me close to the appropriate tongue weight of say, 750-1000 pounds?
Thanks!

How long have you had Lyra? If you were in Mexico in 2000 we met you. Walt, LyricFrom: AlbinVega@yahoogroups.comTo: AlbinVega@yahoogroups.comDate: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 19:02:46 -0700Subject: RE: [AlbinVega] Re: Trailering the Vega

I already had it in the listserver pictures. When I view it the URL is Yahoo! Groups that doesn't work under pictures look for "minke". Alan
Walt - Nope, that wasn't us. Different Lyra. We only bought ours a few weeks ago. I think that boat has been renamed, hasn't it? The Lyra on VAGB?
Alan thank you for the pic. That looks like how ours now currently sits. I don't yet know the tongue weight, but its definitely enough. Maybe even a little more than optimal ... But better that than the opposite! I'd love to post a pic, but I haven't figured out how yet. Not a big yahoo groups user AND I'm technically challenged. LOL
