The trailer/boat combo is just a little over 5000 pounds total, which is why I'd like to eventually go to an aluminum version not to mention corrosion resistance as it will see a lot of saltwater use.

I originally had the hitch from Tone which worked pretty good for a while, but began cracking at the welds. Rather than re-work a suspect piece I basically duplicated the design, which works well, with a little heavier material all plasma-cut and triple-passed all the welds using a Miller 251 and Steelmix gas.
