[QUOTE="Tim Murphy, post: 280131, member: 9229"] Dear Tim, Actually you were pretty much right on the money with how you figured things. As I moved the boat more I noticed the mounting plate was beginning to sag so I did a bit of a modification to my original set up. I bought a 12" hitch extender and an 8" swivel caster at where else, Harbor Freight. With $ 5.00 worth of nuts and bolts and some scrap lumber I mounted the dolly wheel to the hitch extender and now everything is solidly supported. The hitch extender was $ 19.99 and the swivel caster was $ 17.99. I have about $ 50.00 total into everything and I'm happy with it considering I was quoted $ 150.00 plus parts from a trailer fab shop to do essentially the same things. Here is the new setup [img]https://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c338/goobiwan/P1010022.jpg[/img] Regards, Tim Murphy :D [/QUOTE]
