[QUOTE="Tunnels, post: 86998, member: 1299"] Like I said, it was about ten years ago but the new piece of galv. box cost me $30. I would guess that the cost has probably tripled over that time. All I did was replace the long piece of trailer tongue with a longer one. It's now 10'-6" long. Drilled holes to mount the side rails and coupler and spliced the wiring. After that it was just a little time to move the boat & winch bar to get the right adjustments. You can see that I have a longer space between the winch bar & coupler than is normal. You can probably search this site to find some on-line metals places to get a better idea of cost (shipping may be expensive on a long piece though). Maybe a scrap yard or an old trailer on Craig's list or a boat yard. [img]https://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/tunnels_01/boat001.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
