Galvanized boat trailer
Hot-dip galvanizing is a practical Texas default for heat, humidity, and wet ramps — when you still rinse after salt. Published path $1,499 (optional $99 cashback rules on that path only; early $1,299 only if already locked).
Stainless steel boat trailer
Higher corrosion resistance for coastal / frequent wet work. $2,990 PreOrder — not walk-in infinite stock. Confirm timing in writing. More detail: see stainless section on offer.
What neither metal fixes
Wrong beam, overloaded axle, dead lights, or ignored bearings. Accessories still matter: boat trailer accessories.
Texas care
Rinse after Gulf days either way. Guides: galvanized rinse · Gulf rinse.
