Title: so i need to make my trailer about 3' longer...

i put a 18' competitive trailer under a 21' boat... ive been looking for a 21' trailer and not having much luck so I need to make this one longer in the meanwhile so I can get out on the water.

problem is, is that where the tongue sits right now, its about 1/2" from my garage door, extending the midsection of the trailer itself really isnt an option.  so I'm hoping I can add 3' of tongue to it on a swing or a slide... the slide would be cool if there were some extra section slid inside so I can make the trailer longer so I dont have to put my truck in the water on a shallow ramp.

Does anyone know a place or someone that can do something like this?

Shouldn't be to hard since it looks like a bent 31/2 channel steel. You can cut it where it meets and lengthen it and just as a few gusset supports

I have one $600 needs work I have my 19 on it and use it every month dual axle hydraulic brake. Reel is broken and my rear axle funky.  I tow it from los Angeles to blythe. I'm switching it out for a single. Sorry for the crappy pic
