Saw a Jet boat today on a trailer in a drive way and noticed that the Axles(Dual) were ALL the way at the back of the trailer under the engine. Now I know you dont want all the weight behind the axles are you end up with sway, but could this placement provide a better towing experience? Towed many things including boats and always had a smooth ride (except for one).
Pros/Cons? Custom or Came that way?

Sounds to me like someone shortened a trailer for what they needed.
The problem with putting the axles too far back it that it will increase the tongue weight. Tongue weight should not exceed 10-15% of the total weight being towed.
