Tom,
On my hull, the tie downs kind of wrap around the inside of the trim tabs and can still reach the tie down eyelets on the trailer. Remember, the rear tie downs on a boat trailer are designed to keep the boat from bouncing up and down on the trailer rather than actually holding the boat from sliding on the trailer. That is the front winches job and there should also be an extra safety chain or cable holding the front eyelet on the boat as this along with the weight of the boat is 90% of what holds the boat from moving around.
