Again, the purpose of the drive on trailer, according to your cite, is
to save on winching.

If your ramps are not scoured or otherwised damaged by the flow of the
water, then by all means drive on. However, this is not the case for
most concrete ramps.

It is basic information any one of us could write with some bad info

What's up with this?

"A cheap boat trailer more often than not, won't hold up."

Cheap or undersized? What does "won't hold up." mean?

"There won't be as much heat or tread wear on the tires if they rotate
more times per mile."

Really?

"It's fairly safe to say that most boat trailers are weatherized and
protected from rust. If you are in doubt, it would never hurt to have it
rust coated."

Rust coated?

OK, he's an idiot.

Actually, he might have it just right! Park that cheap, undersized,
rust coated, trailer loaded with your non-existent boat at your lot
and it is liable to last a very, very, long time!

Which boat, Gene? Why did you choose to be an asshole?
