[QUOTE="fish4thriLLs, post: 219787, member: 6490"] RivRunR, I took your advice and did exactly what you said and now my bunks are extended past the back of the boat by about 2 inches. But, the tongue is definitely too short. So, I went and got me a 5 foot piece of 2.5" X 2.5" square tubular steel that is 3/16" thick walled. I will cut the tongue about a foot back from the hitch and insert the piece of steel all the way into the tongue and insert the other end into the trailer beam and use it to lengthen my trailer by 14". I will drill two holes and install two bolts through everything on the trailer end and weld a bead at the seam where the steel meets the edge of the tongue area. This will give me enough clearance so I can back up and turn sharp. Kinda like this dude did in the pics below: [/QUOTE]
