I'm thinking if the balance was good then locate the pivot where the center of your present axle is to retain a similar tongue wt. if you want a little more tongue wt slide rearward a couple inches. :confused:

That makes sense. Certainly take a look at some similar set ups in the marina parking lot. Take a tape measure and check distances.
Call a trailer builder and ask them....I would think most would be helpful.
