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.

On the Loadmaster. the stainless brakes add $265 and the spare wheel,
tire and hub and bracket, $250. The trailer guy says he no longer is
recommending stainless brakes, though, because they take a while to cool
properly after being on the road and there have been problems with
them being backed into the water while they are hot.

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?

About $500 more from one vendor for the size I have in mind.

Get the stainless calipers and the cast iron rotor.

Well worth the difference if you have a heavy boat and launch in salt
water.

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.
