Larry,
I would guess that your boat has a low tongue weight. If you were going to
hang some weight on it going down the road I would think you should have a
small channel iron for the front bumper crossbar.
Dutch the only thing I can see is to be careful of your front axle weight
limit. The rack will act like a lever transferring weight from your rear
wheels. I did not do the math but 100 lbs a foot in front of the bumper
could add 130 labs to your front axle. Keep in mind that any weight in
front of the rear pivot point adds some weight to the front. Not know your
curb weight but I think most of us can only add about 500 lbs to our front
axle gross. Scarry to think that 2 250 lb. people in the front seats can
max out the front axle.
I am a rooky, I may be all wrong.
