Two tasks:

- Join multiple sections of angle iron to make
a boat trailer dolly.


I am thinking el cheapo Harbor Freight because this device will
probably only be used a few times.

But what size?

I see various welders from $100 to $300+, but they are all 240v.

The only 120v one I see is 80 amps:

Will 80A suffice for the tasks described?


You want to make a boat trailer with a piece of worthless junk from
Harbor Freight?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHA....


You are an idiot, read his post again. He wants to make a dolly for
his boat trailer, he doesn't want to make a trailer.

If you don't know what a trailer dolly is, try using Google before
making a fool of yourself, again.
