I had the same brand hitch in the second picture. I was always worried about the 2 small tabs toward the truck side holding the ball piece to the hitch. Thought that was the weak link. Guess I was wrong. Lol

Aluminum hitches are cool looking and great for towing a 12 foot aluminum fishing boast with a 10 hp motor on it . If you are going to tow a 35 foot or longer twn big block performane boat use a steel fabricated hitch rated for more than what you think your boat weighs . Manufacture specs often leave out thngs like a full load fuel , 2 anchors , tools props , other sppulies .Coolers full of beverages ETC ETC those items could add another 1 to 2 thousand pounds . Be safe not worth trying to pick your boat out of a ditch when the hitch fails . Just my 2 cents RG.

Holy! Is that second one a rapid hitch? I tug 7-8k worth on one when I drag the cobra around. Rated 10k, maybe not.

Enough said. B&W ball mount and heat treated hitch ball it is. Thanks boys.

yes

had the weight safe, just didnt feel comfortable close to the limits... got rid of it and went with a bulletproof, overkill rated at 36k? yes... but $360 is cheap compared to the boat,the truck....most importantly my family's safety....
