[QUOTE="WPS, post: 368628, member: 15301"] Something I forgot to tell ya... On the inside of some tubing is a weld (Flash)... That will keep some tubing from going inside the other, I've had to remove the weld flash 1' back just to get tubing to fit inside the other, and its not fun! I know most trailer tongues are 1/8", and I've seen some 1/16" thick.... I looked at your picture and it looks like the tubing the PO gave you is 1/8". Did you take the coupler off yet ?... Take the 2-1/2" and see how it fits inside the 3" tubing, and take a pic if you can.... That will help a lot to let me see what you have! :) ... It ''MIGHT'' fit just right, you never know! Since the boat won't weigh all that much, you could probably just slide the tubing 6" inside the other... It would be fine after its welded all the way around. Is that Jet Ski trailer ''galvanized'' ?... If it is, be careful welding on it.. (read about it)! The tubing he gave you is probably 1/4", and the tubing on the trailer is probably 1/8" thick. You might be better off trying to fine the same thickness somewhere if you can! [/QUOTE]
