Lon,
Can you move the boat forward on the trailer to increase the tongue weight easily? If so think about doing that, adding a weight distribution hitch, and doing away with the brakes entirely.
I'm not a fan of electric brakes because they seem to me to be a bit weak and inevitably require a lot of maintenance as the electric brake pucks lose the magnetic abilities. I've had a few trailers with hydraulic surge brakes and liked them a lot better, both for maintenance and performance, and I tow a lot heavier loads than a boat.
My suggestion would be to stop by Outdoor Sport Center in Concord and talk to them. They are on Manchester Street opposite the Red Blazer about a mile up from exit 13 off I-93. First rate!
