I shot an email off to the dealer who sells alot of rigs with trailers...I'll get his 2 cents.
In the meantime, It seems to me the boat could handle the load better in the down position. My biggest fear (esp for older setups) is that if the engine is tilted up and you hit a bump and it hops off the tilt support...it could come crashing down hard on the transom bracket. I realize that the hydraulic system could prevent that on many motors but it also could see a load that is well beyond what it was designed to support.
But if you only have a few inches of clearance...you have no choice, you have to tilt. I like the idea of a 2X4 bungie-chorded in place as a primary support the best method instead of relying on the tilt supports.
