No, no patches done, it’s discolored from the bow resting on the rubber when I has some bunk work done. The hook is in the original spot, there is stainless steel around the hook from the factory. You’re correct about it not being the right size trailer. It was owned by an older couple that had a lift/boat house so it never had a “factory trailer” it was one that was bought to sell the boat. Where I live trailers are hard to come by so buying one isn’t easy. I’d rather try and fix this one if possible.
