My trailer fish tails at about 60ish mph. What do I do to fix it?

Sounds like you need a little more tongue weight

Sounds like that to me also. What do you estimate the weight to be, the amount of pull you have lifting up the tongue to set on the ball?

Check trailer tires. If boat is heavy, (2500lbs+) you need 4 or even 6 ply sidewalls. Regular car tires are not thick enough in the sidewalls
