[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 380519, member: 13599"] I have the 1-1/4" receiver on my Jeep Cherokee and HATE IT !! It is firmly bolted to the frame and is of good welded quality, it is just that I have used the 2" heavy duty for so long, it just seems like spaghetti to me. and the more adjustable links you add to it to make it fit your trailer, [u]IN MY MIND[/u], it is compromising the integrity of the original hitch by putting unnecessary force in the first coupling. The area in the yellow circle would be my primary concern. So please keep an eye on your welds and keep it clean to see if any cracks develop over time. BUT, your boat is "probably" within the safe weight category with no worries. Please understand, This is strictly my frame of thinking...... maybe I am putting too much thought into it. [/QUOTE]
