If you do find a trailer without the swing away tongue, there are tongue kits available. kits for tongue How about some pictures of your boat? We'd love to see it. |

Thanks for the link. Did you mean if I do not find a trailer with swing away toung? Those parts look like parts for a trailer with swing away tounge. It may be possible to adapt one of those parts for my pull out tounge. I am looking for the pics of boat.

Yes you can adapt nearly any trailer to a swing away tongue if that's what you're asking. Depending on the angle of the vee, some trailers will gain more than others. Keep in mind there's a top and bottom way to mount it, the incorrect way will lose you 4".

Tim, Yes, the link is for converting a existing trailer to a swing away tongue. Do you have a Sawsall and a drill? If not, borrow them. |

Looks like you could mount the swing away, right in front of the winch...

Seems like a lot of effort and money to gain convenience only.

I have a feeling the boat won't fit in his garage! |

Time and effort to put a adjuster on it is not worth it. The toung does come out and not too heavy. My back problems sometimes gets me to want to something ideal.
