I am setting up the trailer to run up to four skis, right now all three motor are over the axle, have not ran it down the rd to see how it tows. Think there to much weight that far back? Or run the two outside skis and put the blue or on the front rack?

You want a bit of tongue weight so it doesn't fishtail , can you still pick up the nose of the trailer, if so . not too much tongue weight.
I can pick it up, but definitely feel the weight of everything. There will be a fourth coming soon, but not sure how soon

I have a trailer that holds five, it is quite tongue heavy, it also is very heavy duty and it pulls like a dream.
Regrettably the photos were posted with Photobucket so I can no longer access them.

10% of total weight is the general rule. guessing three skis and trailer weigh about 1500 lbs, so you'll want 150 lbs of tongue weight. If you add a fourth to the front it will add about half the ski's weight at the tongue considering it's about halfway between the wheels and tongue. It's not ideal, you'll be at 300lbs. You could move the three skis back to compensate but then you'll have to run a ski up front all the same. Things to think about.
Yeah this pulled good when I had two on normal and one up front where the box is

I always found this vid quiet interesting.
Thanks for the info, I'll play with it more on shifting the weight around once I take it down the rd.
