I rarely travel more than 50 mile radius from my home. Its a scary world out there! (hehe) Where the tounge connects to the rest of the trailer has been welded together, and one of the angled corner pieces has been welded into place. I don't know why the previous owner didn't just weld the whole mess together. Its in reasonably good shape, I haven't seen any spots that show stress or anything, and I'm not sure what happened in the first place. My only complaint with the trailer is that the boat seems to flop around alot when you hit bumps going down the road. Probably due to all of the places that it bolts together flexing or pivoting just a bit. I have no clue what the value of it is, and I haven't started on welding up a new one yet. I may design something that can acomidate a wider beam so if I change to a large cat down the road I can keep the same trailer, ie. H20.
