I've actually been finding Class D tires lately for 14" wheels.

Yes it was @gmtech. Load capability increases greatly at 15inch and we are in the edge at 14 inch was the just of it. I opted not to buy tire covers knowing once my replacement radials start showing wear or rot I was going to replace with new 15inch rims and tires. That post you are referring to made me feel better about that decision. I have over a year on the 14 inch replacement radials and they are still looking good. Hoping to get a few more years out of them and by then I might have some serious tenfootitis.

@Betik please share on each of the listed items you are doing to the trailer. Extending the bunks sounds like a great idea.
Driving shaft? (edit, just looked it up, that's a nifty device)

I am interested to know what a driving shaft is in relation to a boat trailer as well...

@bronze_10 @LukePrinsloo I apologize for the late response.
I will make a video next time, I move my boat out of my backyard. It will be "Watch Me Straggle" kind of video but it will be informative and fun to watch.

I am working on some potential mods on my trailer, but so far, I have moved the boat back and my tongue weight is at 400lbs. I also changed the center ( guide) bunks from 4-5 feet to 8 feet. The hope is that the those bunks will "catch" the boat sooner and center it right away and hence eliminating the risk of running over the fenders. I did lower the fenders. But it end up replacing to 15inch, I will definitely need to be careful . I am planing to put a GoPro on my trailer to get a visual on how the boat centers itself and hopefully take the guess work out of the equation.
