We do offer a direct replacement for the Shelby 5101 A-Frame Trailer Coupler, it's the A-Frame Coupler part # CA5100B for black or part # CA-5100-Z for zinc. These couplers both have a 5,000 lb weight capacity with 2" hitch ball. In order to install either option you'll need to cut the old one off and weld the new one onto the trailer.

Please note, the zinc is a better option for boat trailers due to its rust resistance.
