You really need to put some kind of marine grade sealer on those untreated 2x4s. Your theory of them not being in the water long is true, but after putting a heavy boat on wet, untreated wood it going to cause havoc on the road. I'd hate for one of the bunks to give out and there you are with your pontoon in 100 pieces in the middle of the road. Otherwise, I love your ingenuity and creative mindset. I've always had a creative mind like yours and I enjoy seeing others thoughts happen in front of them. Keep up the good work!
Kenny, you might want to install guide-ons with PVC rollers at the rear of the trailer to help you line up for loading, You can also mount your tail lights and license off of them to keep them out of the water.
Live To Survive because too little tongue wieght causes fish tailing. Bumper pull trailers should have no less than 30% of the total weight on the tongue. Anything less limits you to 45mph for safety reasons (hence U-Hauls speed limit on thier trailers)
How long did it take you to figure out those rear hangers are too far back? When setting up the shackles they should have a slight forward lean to them ( / ) to avoid going the wrong direction and soften the bumps slightly.
were you blowing paint boogers after painting that trailer?? mite want to think about springing for a harbor freight respirator to go with your harbor freight paint gun you only get one set of lungs per lifetime you know. you will regret all the stuff you did without proper equipment when you were young when you get old.

You should never use a live tree for hawk practice.
Decent job, looks good , you can paint the with a marine paint that will help it some, before you cover them..
Most of the weight on a trailer should ride on the trailer axle. Why would you want more tongue weight?
