Yes - great point.
Height of hitch (angle of trailer itself), weight distribution, and axle distance, tongue weight and speed are all factors which impact sway on trailers.
In almost every trailer I've owned there has been some subtle adjustments made (easiest is the height of hitch using different drops from truck) and weight distribution of "stuff" inside boat or trailer.
My last boat trailer I had to slide the axle back just a touch to eliminate the squirleyness at higher speeds towing with my F150 which didn't seem to happen with my GMC 1500.
