Default Willie DB/baker trailer ball size?

Anyone know off the top of their head the ball size used for the galvanized baker trailers issued with the 17x54 willie drift boats? 2006 model

If you know the tongue height as well that'll be a bonus

Much appreciated!

Mine is a 2003 and has a 2" ball. The hitch height is about 2/3 of the way up my shin...

I have a semi permanent bruise there from each and every time I hit it.

If the 2" ball fits, its 2", if not then its 1 7/8". Did I say that right?

Horror stories abound concerning a 2" hitch (tongue) being erroneously clamped onto a 1 7/8" ball.
1 7/8" should never have been made, IMO.
Read the stampings or don't use if you're not 100% sure.

I agree. My dad had 1/2 and 1/2 1 7/8 hitches and 2" hitches. I replaced all the 1 7/8 to eliminate the confusion.
