Thanks for the replies. I think I will try to sell the trailer and
buy a galvanized one since the salt water will ruin the trailer and
then it won't be worth anything. So I will see if anyone buys this
trailer and if not I will just use it as long as possible.



I did just that last year....expensive but necessary here on the North
Atlantic.

I am curious, what makes the North Atlantic any different than any body
of salt water? I would recommend a galvanized trailer if you use the
boat in salt or brackish water.

I would recommend an aluminum trailer. The zinc on a galvanized trailer
is sacrificial and will rust like a painted trailer - just later. Even
aluminum trailers have some galvanized parts so a fresh water rinse is
still very important.
