Hey Ander, thanks for reaching out!

The Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT can handle up to 20' long boats so you just need to add the Bunk Kit # MPG561 and you'll be good to go!

Where do you plan on fishing at this year? Any big fishing trips you're planning out?

OK, thanks just checking making sure because I did purchase the bunk from you guys not installed them on the trailer. I took the boat trailer out for a test ride. I noticed a truck the boat was swinging left right for about 5 inches. I was going only doing 60 miles an hour on the freeway. I think with that extension for the tongue is the cause I think that could be the problem because there’s only one connection and I know it’s kind of loose so now I’m gonna disconnect the tongue from the trailer and reconnected with two bolts to the frame and see how sturdy that will be Thank you Andre

@Andre Did you have the boat loaded up when you were taking the trailer out for a spin? If the trailer was unloaded, then that will cause it to swing back and forth some as well.

@JonG yes it was loaded up. I believe the problem is that retractable tongue kit it only has one bolt holding it in place it doesn’t seem stable to me. either I could do a attach another bolt in it or just remove it and attach it to the trailer. I think that will eliminate the swing down having
