Great to see another option with East Coast Welding- I had never heard of them and I need a good welder every once in a while!

Default Trailer Repair - update

I called Joe at Trailer Outlet and he wanted to replace the whole tongue. Didn't want to do that because it may need a new hitch and transferring other pieces which would add to the cost.
I talked to Al at East Coast Welding and he mentioned either straighten or cutting the tongue. Brought trailer down and he couldn't straighten, just to much bend in the tongue. He cut the tongue and moved the winch assembly the amount he cut out. Took him 2 days to complete. Was able to pick up at my convience(after hours). Brought trailer to cottage and found there was more damage than I originally saw. The rollar brackets on the swivel part of trailer was bent ninty degrees. Brought down both pieces last Thursday and it was done in a day. Picked up on way up Friday and my trailer was ready to go Saturday.
Al was easy to talk to and he mentioned that he fixes trailers, skegs, pontoon boats, etc. This is a handy man to have around. I'd use him in the future for all my welding projects. His price was very reasonable and it was 1/3 the price of replacing the whole tongue.

Thanks to the Forum members for your suggestions.
