Thanks for all the ideas. Finally went with Sacrete, mixed a bit dry. Got the water out and kept the
hole dry with a shop vac. Worked like a champ. Here's the final product:

Say, that’s impressive! Very pretty. Uh, I had to blow the pic up a bit because I was wondering what was hanging below your front license plate.

Mickey? What’s the deal with that?


Well, you got to have a hitch cover, and I'd already used the American flag in the bow tie, so
Mickey was next on the list.

Yup, when we go camping, we often take bikes. The front hitch holds the bike racks. Like so:

No dirtier than the front of the truck. I don't follow many mudslingers! Any extra dirt rinses right
off.

I thought you might be one of those people who "backs" trailers
connected to a front hitch. That was a thing for a while.
People on boat ramps hate that.

I put a front hitch on my truck to back the boat in to the previous storage
I had. Was a narrow roadway and big truck. Present storage slot is much
easier.

I've never seen it done at a boat ramp. I wouldn't blame folks for getting ****ed if they had to
stand and watch an unhitching and rehitching.

Putting the boat into a garage or tight driveway would be a great use of a front hitch.

I haven't seen it done at boat ramps but I've seen it often in boat
yards and RV storage/repair places. Often the ball is installed on
one of the forks of a fork truck.
