Boat readied on trailer for the trip home

I bought a trailer on ebay and stored it at the USGS office in WI until we got to Green Bay. Then we rented a car, drove to Madison to pick up the trailer. Next day we fitted the boat to the trailer bunks and bow stop, adjusting the tongue weight. We had arranged for a commercial shipper to tow the boat home through uship.com-- like ebay where the truckers bid on your shipment. The trucker could not come until monday 8-13 after the 3 days we spent readying the boat for the 2100 mile trip home. I put new tires on the trailer and chain the boat down to the trailer front and back The boat made it home friday 8-17 and it now sits in our back yard waiting for full unloading and an oil change and gas tank pump out.
