[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 498992, member: 31103"] Thanks for reviving the thread. I have a 14' Lund on a trailer that was probably made for a 12' boat. I had decided to lengthen the tongue to make launching and recovering easier. I also need to solve the underweight tongue issue. I was struggling with the "how" of the project. 3X3 square tube is easy to get, be it online, local scrap yard, or even a new iron dealer. A 2.75" square tube to insert the two pieces to be joined is more of a challenge. I have plenty of angle iron already in the shop, so this thread gave me the final piece I need to pull this off. Welding will be done by son-in-law or my fishing buddy. I may not do it this season, but I'll plan to pull the boat off after the season and do it then. Then I'll be able to repaint the whole trailer, flip the boat over and finally clean up the hull under the water line. New bunks, properly set, will top off the update. [/QUOTE]
