    Very nice work! Did you have any trouble getting a wrench inside the trailer tube to tighten the bolt on the tongue?

    Thanks for the pictures and the detailed description. I'm going in the morning to buy what I need to do mine.

    Also, I really like that F2 winch, looks nice. I think I've seen one of those before on an RT trailer....LOL

    took a box end wrench and wire wrapped it to a metal rod temporarily to hold the nut inside the tongue tube.

    Even the underside of your boat is shiny. Does it ever see the water? Nice modification on the winch.

    Hard to understand why they use ubolts...My triton galvanized trailer winch stand is welded.
