Never seen one like that. Does it add alot of weight to the bumper?

about 30 feet right around 900lbs. of tounge weight not too bad considering what it is. and it's elec/hydralic so no moving parts in the tounge we do studio trailers that have 1500+ lbs of tounge weight

we build trailer's all the time and the above boat and ski's weighs almost 7k
those ski's are 970 lbs each with full tanks of gas and the boat is 3700 and some change it is hard to build a trailer with the correct tounge weight ratio with almost 2k sittin on the tounge.
we do build hydralic rack trailer that puts the ski's on top but it's almost twice the price and most of the tournement boat guys dont spend the money like our bigger boat customers i will post some pics of the next rack trailer for you guys to see
