Saltwater Trailers or Just HATE Rust
Our Rock Guard textured powder coating is the finest (painted) steel coating
available. These trailers should be rust free for years. But, if your going to
salt water or trailering in snow or even sitting in snow six months a year, hot
dipped galvanizing is a better option. Our galvanized trailers are made by a
southern manufacturer who understands saltwater and not rusting. They are
similar to our Rock Guard trailers, strong frame, great brakes, but with a
different (more deluxe) winch stand and standard with features like plastic bunk
wrap. Our galvanized trailer costs about 10% more than our Rock Guard trailer.

| I’ve taken pontoons to Florida on several occasions. On an early trip friends told us we didn’t want brakes in salt water, we took a 24’ pontoon with a 85 HP on a bunk trailer. We came over Jellico Mountain (on Hwy 75), out of the mountains, down to Knoxville in a heavy rain without brakes. We were scared to death in a full sized Suburban, it was dangerous and we never made the trip again without brakes. You need disc brakes in salt water, it will eat the springs and parts on drum brakes. Our recommendations on this page are from experience. There is quite a bit that can go wrong on a 1200 mile pontoon boat towing adventure (2400 round trip). Most boaters will never tow a pontoon more than an hour or two in hot weather, but from Valdosta south, its 80+ degrees. Cheap tires won’t run 70 MPH for eight hours in ninety degree weather. |
