Jerry and '23 guys - Neal Clark in Tucson had a '23 with a modified trailer axle setup. I believe he did the work himself. He took out the full width axle and put short "dually" axles over the wishbone frame on either side of the boat - two wheels per side.The wheels straddled the frame rails, and were hooked to individual spring setups on each side. This allowed the boat to sit lower on the trailer, as there was no axle in the center. I don't remember him having any trouble with the trailer "flex" because of this modification, but it was in the late '70's, memory not so good... This boat was sold to Stan Brickler in Tucson and was called "Deception" I believe that the boat now belongs to Stan's relatives elsewhere and that you have this boat on the list.
