FWIW: My 1990 Express tandem trailer is galvanized. Has had 17 years of
salt dips w/hose off and brake flushes afterwards. The chassis is
perfect; nary a rust spot anywhere except maybe where a fastener has
bitten in and gouged the coating. The steel hardware, shackles, springs,
etc. are rusty, of course, and due to be replaced soon. I replaced the
brakes, lines, and actuator 4 years ago. It's held up well.

In case anyone wonders.

Loadmaster "Aluminum" Trailer, 5100# capacity, with Carpeted Cypress Bunks
& Front Boards , Tandem Torsion Axles, Aluminum Wheels, Radial Tires,
Spare Wheel, Tire & Hub mounted on Frame, All Stainless Steel Fasteners
(except on galvanized steel parts, I assume), et cetera.
$3845. Florida manufacture.

LoadRite "Aluminum" Trailer, 4200# capacity, remaining pieces and parts
about the same, but with no front boards and no spare wheel, tire & hub.
$3100. Pennsylvania or North Carolina manufacture.

I've got a Loadmaster under my 25' Parker and have found it to be a top of
the line boat trailer, with absolutely no problems, rust, corrosion, or
even burned out lights.

These are "Mid-Atlantic" prices, subject to dealer pricing oddities.




For some reason aluminum trailers don't seem to be popular up here.
Would they be much more expensive than a similar galvanized version south of
the border?
