Looks OK to me. It's about the same setup as mine and the trailer came from the factory specifically for that boat (23' SeaRay Sundeck, so same general type of boat too). And I've towed it through mountain passes and other interesting terrain without incident.

I wish I had a total weight. Then with a bathroom scale and a 2x4 you should be able to get a tongue weight.
