Question:
do you have a weight distribution hitch used for long main channel on a boat. I do have a picture of one if that would help.

I believe I understand what you're needing. It sounds like you're going to need the Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393.
This platform will provide a mounting space for the lift brackets of almost any weight-distribution system, like the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66559.
You're going to want to check with your trailer's manufacturer to verify that a weight distribution system can be used on your trailer.
Additionally, to choose a correct weight distribution system you'll need to calculate your trailers ready to tow tongue weight with a scale # e99044, and add any additional weight that sits behind the rear axle on your tow vehicle.
