 |
|
I need a longer trailer tongue installed, the new boat has one so short I cannot lower the tailgate and I have to practically put the truck bumper in the water to launch the darn thing.
I figure since I'm stuck down here for a couple of weeks that I might as well have it done.
Who would you guys recommend? |

John: There's a fairly new trailer repair shop in Rockport. You could call them and see if they could help. They seem to do lots of boat trailer repair work. Fishers of Men Trailer 830-708-3540. Good luck! TexasJim

I've used Charlie several times and he's pretty good. Mike at Expert Welding on Ayers street is just as good.

Thanks for the answers guys. Unfortunately of the four fabricators i contacted, none wanted the work.
So i pulled the boat back up to Austin and going to go to the Metal Supply, buy a piece of square tubing and do it myself. |
