One thing to add with the reciever style...

I carry two recievers one with 1 7/8 ball and one 2". I can tow just about anyones boat no matter what the setup.

with the receiver style your ball is a little farther back and dropped. You will be able to jacknife a little more without the chance of hitting your rig on the bow of the boat or winch because your trailer is back further...

good luck!

I plug my reciever when not used with a harley bar and shield... looks cool cool
