[QUOTE="skyline223, post: 368638, member: 14863"] I added 2-1/2 feet to the tongue. I called a local metal supply shop and asked for a 30" long, 1/4" thick 3x2 steel rectangular tubing. Then I simply butt-welded the piece to the end of my existing tongue and relocated the coupler to the new piece. Pretty easy! Thank you! The color is a 1956 Chevrolet color - Ocean Green. Though when my local paintshop mixed it, they put a little too much green in it, so it is sort of a Green-Ocean-Green if you will :roll: So today I finally got my little Merc running like a top! I spent a bit of time getting the mixture dialed in and she is ready to hit the water! Now that the transom is sitting on the bunks, the final step in "transom peace of mind" was to add a transom saver. Now she is ready to go on a roadtrip!
