Trailers: Aluminum VS Steel.

[Bruster]

actually i already checked on stainless, and even if i did all the work myself, the parts would cost almost 2k. stainless torsion suspension is expensive enough without me doing the whole thing in it.

it'll probably end up being aluminum channel, i want to do rec. tubing but i think i'll have problems with it floating or being too light in a cross current.

then again, the steel custom line trailer i had under my bass boat had been to the keys 6 years and was other than the fenders starting to rust. that epoxy paint they use is some tough chit.

I think a Stainless Steel trailer would be pretty trick. Everyone has a painted, Galvenized or Aluminium trailer. No one has a Stainless Steel trailer. I would think material cost Stainless to Aluminium wouldn't be that great. I would rather weld Stainless any day, and the cool factor that only comes with Stainless.

Most folks with old glastrons don't even know this. I am pretty sure this is one...

Yep it is. I have that same boat and trailer sitting in my backyard.(Ski Machine top though) Aluminum trailer. Boat is free minus windshield and Trailer if anyone wants it. Needs plenty of work.

We made ours with a folded channel and box section x-members, alcoa wheels. Being a tandem and having the box sealed to avoid the salt getting in definately kept them floating (damn alloy is to light), so we drilled holes in the box and they started to sink. Now we fold the x-members out of plate as well, problem solved!!!

You have great Bling factor having them that polished...what do you use on the bottom of that Boat in the first pic?????
I just bought some stuff called FLITZ I saw it at bike week ...after sticking my finger in it and running to a neighboring venders tent to try it I had to buy some... I figured he had polished the same piece about a million times but when I used it on a piece of diamond plate that was used as a wire cover and it worked??? Well enough said. I cann't wait to put it to the test on my trailer fenders and later the whole thing
