[QUOTE="Rat, post: 153600, member: 1914"] No, add enough tongue extension to get the transom close tot he rear of the trailer; don't just extend the bunks back. Galvanized doesn't matter when welding, just paint it all to match or just for protection; galvanized and non-galvanized will weld up together just fine. Take a look at some of the trailer builds on this site to get a good idea of what you need to do. In the image below I added about three feet to the rear of my trailer as well as dding three feet to the tongue to get the hull to fit correctly. Where the bunks end is about where you want to be. The main thing is to have the weight on the transom, not the thin skinned hull bottom. [img]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/download/file.php?id=13671&mode=view/trailer%20tie%20down.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
