Why in the hell do they make a trailer galv. but use zinc plated hardware. Where can i get a galv trailer with stainless or galv hardware? Breau and Daigle said it doesn't exist. Geralds has a salt water edition, that will take 3-4 weeks to get in and boat should be ready before then, Claude's took my info and will give it to someone who knows more about them to call me back. Anyone else.........
If I would have known this i would have ordered my trailer a month ago.
And why don't they come with a spare tire. Is America that screwed up?

Willet, want a job?

Call Gt he has galv. and alum. I pulled my boat home tonight and was pretty nice. Pulled in od and rpm's was the same at the same speed as is without a boat on it.

And the prices are whack too...

We payin for steel from 6 months ago at the price peak now...

id go alum, washing galvanizing at 3am after bowfishing so it doesent rust out kinds sux

I have a alum. trailer from prodrive. Best investment I can make for a trailer. Galv.= $1500 Alum.=$2000 Well worth the money difference.

anyone seen those lightweight aluminum trailers floating after the boat unloads?

Hot dipped galv and zinc plated hardware is a big difference in rust prevention.

The point was that Galvanizing is a "ZINC" plating process.


Also, genius, maybe you can explain to the class how you would "hot dip" a bolt and nut and then get them the thread onto each other.


Got Dayum I am going to stop talking to anyone on this board except Coondik.


You boys are dumber than a box of assholes.

McClain has a decently priced Dealer trailer...aluminum (bolted together) w/ salt water package...all stainless hardware-


Some hate em...I'm perfectly happy with mine....it gets my boat there-

If i had to do it all over again.I would buy the Mcclain over the Magic tilt.

I got the Magic Tilt from PD.It is a nice looking aluminum trailer but the SOB has way too much flex in it.I have not had any problems with it just think the craftsmanship could be better.

Us smart guys got to stick together

centrifuge for $800 Alex?

Just paraline coat the motherforker and be done with it.

J, if u'r gonna go with 100% hot dipped galavized compenents don't forget to add a galvanic isolator and some sort of entry level cathodic protection system

Hey SS, call andy at 504 737-1203 for a good price on a gator trail trailer.
I like mine wit the short 9" wheels

where's da luv?

Figured you need something to read.

i just bought an aluminum from majic tilt $1800 with 14' wheels SS buddybearing it has the 8" cypress bunks and all galavized hardware and i love it

i built a steel trailer out of boxed tubing for my last boat, had it rhino lined for 300 bucks and never cleaned it and it didnt have a speck of rust. all the ramps i launch at is saltwater

what stumpy said!!!!!

a real heavy duty custom trailer has enough meat on it, it can afford to rust for da rest of ur lifetime and still never give u trouble.

Yeah, for what some of these trailers sell for now, you can get a custom one built that will last you a lifetime and be alot better than one off the show room. I know Rick and the guys can build you whatever you want.

Whatever you do, please dont be like Crews and put a nice looking boat on some nickel trailer!!
