    I used to work for a boat trailer manufacturer. Every trailer was fully welded up then sent for hot-dip galvanising.
    A customer traded in a 21 year old luanch dolly and it had no rust at all.

    Good one Marty T got a story for you. I was offered a 20ft boat trailer from steel recyclers for $50 the middle roller area was rusted out. I looked at it for ages and ended up cutting middle out completely, shortened the draw frame suitable for a 16fter. Went to buy a boat for it in Whakatane only to find another guy beat me to it. He had a tandem tipper so offered him my rebuild, we swapped and later sold it for two and a half grand.

    As well as grease theres a product availiable here in NZ called Res-Q-Steel. For any nuts bolts etc going either near or in saltwater its 100% top of the pile in protecting the threads. Better than anything in the anti-seize family. Seen nuts n bolts underwater for 20 years just unscrew like new ones would. Bit $$$ to buy but oh so worth it. No good near heat like exhaust manifolds etc but near or in salt water theres nothing better. And a little goes a long long way. My brother when he was an apprentice marine engineer bought a 4 litre tub and it lasted him just on 25 years.

    Nothing fancy just a tape measure to get it square and indespension DOT co DOT uk trailer suspension units
    A few weeks later, One night after work I copied a deep V trailer for my friend welded everything with MIG welded mudguards and everything, went to the pub at 10pm for a beer and than back to finish paint it before midnight.
    The following day in December we took his boat up to the Lake district in the Windemere UK one the lake we hit an ice sheet and slid out of the water and had to hammer / smash the ice to float again.
