i just replaced the tongue on my trailer with a piece of 4x3 galvanized tubing 8 ft long, it was $100 from a local trailer shop. might just get the hangers from EZ and the beams locally.

if your not launching the boat, just trying to make it mobile, why not jack it up and just put a 4x4 across on top of the the frame and lay the boat on it while you move it.

Phatdaddy,

Great ideas! So glad I posted here. I will look into galvanized beams local as well as using wood beam to move the boat out of the driveway.
