Home made tow bar

I have had some members ask about my tow bar over the years so I decided to post up pics and measurements.

Here are some of the best pictures I have of the tow bar. The bar was on the boat when I bought it. I am pretty sure it is plain old steel. I just used my measuring tool and got the measurements of the bars.
I believe the top bar is 2 inch stock and the fronts are 1-1 1/4 " the lateral rears are 3/4-1" I believe.(It's at the lake so this is the best I can do) The mounting plates are 3-4" plates with fender washers underneath. The front's only bolt through the deck. The lateral rears go through the cross members.

I still need to mount it back on to finish off my rebuild....

Any other questions just holler!

No problem. I may actually be off on the rears they may be more like 22", If I get down to the lake in the next couple of weeks I will update exact measurements of them.
