western Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 was years ago, sometime around the early to mid 70's IIRC, probaby unlikely that any of the tow hitch or traler parts suppliers will have any 2 inch ball hitches in stock now.

Gringo Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ah well. Actually the two inch was a nominal number. What my trailer actually uses is 2 5/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Gringo, It would probably be easier to grab a new hitch for the trailer chassis to match the ball. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well, that's a thought. But living over on this side of the pond, even in a Brit country, I doubt it. This is the type trailer we are talking about here: Kinda makes my little 90 look puny,doesn't it? And this is the bit I would have to find. And I doubt that finding that in 50 mm would be easy, or cheap. I bet I could buy a welder and learn how to use it for less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 now that is a really tidy rig, boats not bad either, B) what's the maximum weight of the boat & trailer ? UK max towed weight for a LR is 3500kg/3,5tonnes, with overrun brakes type hitch. if your within those figures I'm sure a trailer hitch could be sourced & sent over to you.

Gringo Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 No that is really just showing off Would you believe me if I told you the boat, motor, and trailer was a gift from a complete stranger that I have never met or spoken to, even to this very day?

Gringo Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I credit it to clean living... and of course the fact that I am an all around really nice guy and just as cute as a speckled pup, to boot. Oh, and modest. Did I mention modest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
