We do have an option for you, though the straight tongue trailer couplers that fit 3" tongues only fit either a 2" or 1-7/8" ball, but not both. If that's okay, the best option is a coupler from Demco:

- Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs # 12564

This coupler accepts a 2" ball and will bolt onto your boat trailer's 3" straight tongue. It has a simple-to-use eZ-Latch that will latch onto your hitch ball automatically, and is zinc-coated with a 200-hour salt spray rating for durability. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
