Update to trailer set up Question

So I'm a little worried about this trailer being a little top heavy and rolling over on a turn.
So I thinking of adding this support to make it more stable. What are your thoughts on this brace being added, better part of valor over looks??? adding more cribbing to the side makes it seem too cluttered. The brass struts are not very strucktual just looks. boat is as wide as the trailer and suspension is pretty loose
What are your thoughts

    Hi Bruce, another NZ boat mover uses this clever hydraulic arm pad support system, (fits almost any shape and is compact) and if you were worried about top heavy, check the tall cradle pic😁

Some more on my progress. Added aluminum diamond plate trailer decking and cribbing. next step is the trailer lighting, and boat tie downs

    Hi Bruce
    Looks good.
    Coming along nicely.
    Where did you get the diamond plate from and is it available at different scales ?
