Default Custom built Boat aluminum trailers

Aluminium is dangerous in salt environments and heavy loads. Fine for a
mast. But there is no way I would tow a 1 ton boat on one of those
trailers things. It stresses under extreme loads and will give way
without warning. Imagine a trailer giving up on the freeway. How many
people would you like to kill?

One may be ok to tow an inflatable. But forget it for a serious sal****er
boat.

Nonsense. Properly designed and manufactured an aluminum trailer is every
bit as strong or stronger than a galvanized steel trailer and it won't rust.
