Default Coona$$ tack weld
After a rough couple of days in lacassine, Instead of resting, I decided to try and push my luck in the ponds off the intercoastal. So I lauched the boat and as I was pulling the trailer out the water I could hear some thing dragging. looked back and the damn thing was nearly broken in half. Bout a 1/4 of metal holding was all that was holding the tongue to the back half. Luckily we were able to Macgyver us a patch out of a landscaping timber and a cow bone. Made it 30 miles back to the shop like that... haha

Good job. Same thing happened to me at Rockefeller. You just got to make due with what you have. We used a couple of pieces of board. One on either side of the break. Angled the tongue up toward the sky, and bolted the two boards together......I used it like that for a couple of trips actually.
