Ball Hitch
 
Does anyone know of a Ball Hitch, that is not custom, for the front of a vehicle? Some of us have to put our boats in some very tight places. I saw this a a Marina, but never saw one other than that. This would be a great idea, unless I'm overlooking the obvious.

There are hitch mfg's that make front mount hitch receivers. I know Curt makes one for my 2010 chevy....not sure what you have but check with them. I had a reese front mount receiver on my old 99 suburban...it was fun pushing the boat into the driveway instead of backing in....but you do need help as sometimes you cant see the other side of the boat like you can when backing in...

Try converting a snow plow coupler to a hitch, then you could have up down motion also

What truck do you have?

A 2012 Chevy Silverado. Great truck so far.

I have a curt front hitch receiver on the front of my 450. I use it for a removable oversize load sign, but also incase I need to maneuver in very tight areas.

Not sure how far you need to move but try this. I move my 32’ fever with it into my garage.
