I haven't used it and I know its 20+ years old since it sat for about 20 years. The welds actually look good for something someone made at home, and somehow the sides where it connects to the frame (through the bumper bolts) there is half inch plate that is bent around the bottom and welded on. I think it would hold up under regular conditions but at some point I think I would hit the brakes and the boat would continue through the back of the vehicle.

I'll probably go with something like this:
