Jake, what exactly would I be loosing if I got a galvanized instead of an aluminum? I know aluminum is lighter and won't rust, but is this all? Can the galvanized trailer be painted or cured with something to safeguard it from rust? How severe is the rust anyway?

I'm getting a Hobie 16 really soon, within the next month I hope, and I'll be getting whatever trailer comes with that. Should I just use the trailer it comes with? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get another trailer.

This, of course, leaves out the unprobable possibility that a H16 actually does come with a trailex! that would be nice... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
