So, if I know skilled metal workers/welders can I convert my trailer to a break away tongue?

Thanks in advance,

Sure, they even make kits to do it.

Re: break away tongue

tashasdaddy,

That thread is for some meeting of iboats folks... Can you re-send the link please...

Thanks so much!

I'm trying to fit my boat in my garage so I can work on it, instead of driving 30 miles to work in a cold building...

If you know a "good" metal fabricator, show him this picture and it can be done inexpensively. Install the joint anywhere and you can even lengthen or shorten the coupler end as need at the same time.

I would love a break away from home, meet up in Florida, and go boating with you fine folks!

Thanks again!
