One of the shops I worked at for 15+years in the 70s and 80s we sold hitches so I did learn a thing or two about them and put on a boat load of them (no pun intended)

If I didn’t get my shoes in the picture certain members would have accused me of not taking it. lol. They are not for sale. I’m breaking them in for Carlisle.

I don’t know crap about them.

@Dtret, holy cow, that is awesome, hilarious and maybe just a tad bit horrifying (in a good way) all in one!! You're right, it's still welded to the frame. Hard to tell what's frame and what's hitch, hah! Honestly, I will pass but someone should definitely make use of that. Looks like it will hold a heck of a load!

And no, I don't have any Carlisle plans at the moment. Never been. I know I know, shame on me. One day!

what about boxing the frame in and cage bolts?

Brendan,

The last time he was on the website was the day he posted that on the club website so I would be surprised if he will respond unless he gets an email that you have responded to his post.

The U-Haul hitch is the way to go.

U-Haul hitch ordered! I got the 4,000lb rated one with the 2 inch receiver. The web site says 4 days to receive. I can't imagine it will come that quick, but who knows!

I will be putting my 1961 Penn Yan wooden runabout into the water on the Mystic River in a month or so. Man, that boat will look great behind the Monte Carlo :). Might have to bring a tow strap to get pulled out of the boat ramp though, haha. We shall see

@DragCat, exactly what I'm going for! Thank you for sharing that. Is that you or someone in your family? I have some old pics of my grandparents pulling a camper with a Chevelle convertible. Will see if I can find it :)

Definitely a cool combo! This pic is from the early 90s.

Thanks Willie! I no longer own the boat but I did have it out a few times. It surely didn’t get pulled behind the Monte!

have been doing a lot of DC and Baltimore work recently. Will reach out if I make it out your way for sure!
