I have a 1993 Sea Ray 250 Express Cruiser on a Load Rite aluminum tandem axle trailer. I picked it up 2 years ago, about this time. I live in Akron Ohio and bought the boat at a RV dealer in Syracuse NY. I ended up renting a U-Haul truck to get it home with no problems. I tow it with a 2021 Ram 1500. I use a 12000# 2" drop, 1" rise mount. I towed it to a local lake (10 miles away, rural roads) several times last summer with no trouble. I towed it to Lake Erie this summer (turnpike and interstate) and noticed the front axle tires were much warmer than the back axle tires. With the hitch at 2" drop the trailer sits pretty level. I don't want to move the boat back and mess up my tongue weight, it tows like a dream. Anybody have any idea how much weight would change on axles if I raise the ball 3"? Would it do any good? Thanks
