Does anyone know if you can change a boat to have a swing away tongue? I would think it would be a pretty easy mod to make if you had a good weilder and all.

I think you mean a boat "trailer" and not the actual boat right? Mr. Green

IMHO, Yes, it can be done with the right welder and materials.

depending on how your tongue is made Overtons has a hinge for this. All you have to do is cut your tongue where you want it to hinge, drill a few holes and bolt it in place or I wouldnt see why you couldnt weld it.

There is another kit I've seen that is just the Hinge but i couldn't seem to locate a link to it.

Good luck
