Bolt-on class III receiver hitch

[oooPIVYooo]

My welding skills are just not good enough to fabricate a receiver.  I've been looking around for a decent receiver that might fit my 86 dolphin, when I saw a "universal" one that looked like it might fit (and costs less than $100).  Turns out, this thing fits perfectly.  Had to drill 4 holes for the bolts and had to grind off a couple little brackets that were sticking down, but that's it. Everything else was 100% bolt-on. Now I just need to get a bumper back on there to hold the sewer line.

I've no doubt that the hitch is Class III, as long as you're confident that whatever you've bolted it to is also Class III.

Not so much!  I just plan on attaching it for a cargo rack.

Not  sure on yours but on my 93 Sea Breeze the factory added frame is sooooo thin I cannot believe anyone could actually put a hitch on and tow something.

I've added a rack for a few things and trying to keep the weight under 200 lbs total including the rack.

You got lucky on a direct bolt in,                         Jim

Hopefully some future owner won't assume it's strong enough to tow a 3500lb trailer.

rear bumper is required by law in states like michigan.

driving without one could get a writ of repair ticket.
