    Very clever and nice engineering! Here in the US we never see people launch boats off the beach like that, very creative solution!

    What about the swing down tire support? Did you fabricate it or purchase it?

      I purchased that, not hard to come by. Maybe from Martins Trailer Parts? They can be adjusted to fully down, or half way down.
      I am actually using the extension right now, up at the place shown in the video. Works great, no issues so far.

    Where did you buy the “travel mount” and “ pivot pin” this is exactly what I want to build but I’m having a hard time finding the parts

      hey Anthony, I welded those brackets up myself, as well as the actual extension. The pins are 19mm hitch pins, available from any trailer parts store. So the bought hardware was the u-bolts to secure it all, the hitch itself, and the pins. Everything else I built myself.

      @@ralphblundell9479 I guess thats why I cant find them anywhere online lol you did an amazing job! Unfortunately I cant weld, I found a rear hanger bracket for trailer suspension that I will rig to make work. It wont be as nice as your set up but I think it will work. Thanks for the reply BTW you should consider making a few and trying to sell them. I cant find anything specific for this task on-line!

      @@anthonydiloreto9555 There are a few trailer manufacturers that make them, in varying lengths, but they seem to charge an arm and a leg--I had one offer for a 1 metre extension for a $1,000.😜 You could make the whole thing bolt together--two flat plates bolted each side of the drawbar for each bracket?
