I have towed both galvanized and aluminum with the same tow vehicle. The aluminum seems to "flex" a bit more when you travel over the bumps and dips in the road. This is probably less abusive on the boat but it can get to you if there are a series of bumps in a row.

All things considered, I would still go with the aluminum. As an added bonus, you can lift, or drag, the trailer (without the boat) when parking or if it doesn't want to back up in the same direction you want it to :-)

I am looking at the same model galvanized.
I have also been looking at aluminum also, by FloatOn and other companies.

What are the pros and cons of aluminum, the boat looks like it would sit
higher on the aluminum trailers, any suggestions and or experience?

Thanks in advance,
