folding or removeable trailer tongue

[78 Sprint]

Can you buy or build a folding or removeable trailer tongue. I sure would like to be able to use my garage to store my boat but the tongue sticks out to far, it is a competitive trailer and it is 3 and half buy 4 inch tubing. Any ideas would be helpful thanks.

Extreme trailers makes a conversion kit that either bolts on or is welded.

there were a couple of people that did there own on here. If you do a search you will probably come up with the threads. Come to think of it, I think Jeanyus was one of the people. Try a search using his user name......might have been about a year ago?

I used one of the extreme units and am very happy. My trailer is a competitive and it took a little work but I pulled it off. v-drive

I built this one.

Do a search for pivot hitch. The new pivot hitch is real nice. If I did it over again I would buy the kit.

I have done several boat trailers. Just cut the trailer about 6" in front of the "v". then make a piece of square tubing that fits tight inside. Make it 12" long. gring it to fit tight in the removable tongue and weld it in. Then grind it to fit in the trailer tight. Drill hole through for hitch pin. Then on the trailer side weld and bend a 1" strap around the end for reinforcement from splitting. Spot paint and your done!!! Budlight

Thanks for the replys, I live in wyoming, I might call extreme and see if they make a kit to change that over. That is a pain with that tongue that sticks out so long. I wonder what would happen if i just shorted the tongue all together, there can't be that much tongue weight on it i can pick it up and move it around by myself, thanks for all the info.

You can just shorten your trailer tonque, just make sure it's longer than the boat! Otherwise you'll hit the nose of the boat towing it on dips. BL
