I'm looking at a used aluminum trailer to put under my 19' Maycraft. It's a really good deal but the trailer will need some work to be up to par. The leafsprings will need to be replaced which shouldn't be any problem but the crossmembers are badly corroded and will need to be replaced before I can load my boat onto the trailer. I did some searches and have found both galvanized and aluminum crossmembers that will fit this trailer. The aluminum crossmembers are cheaper by about $100 total and should prevent this issue in the future but i'm worried about the strength. I tow my boat quite often and don't want any malfunctions on the highway.
Does anybody have any knowledge on this topic and can enlighten me on which crossmembers are the better choice for both strength and longevity? Don't mind paying more for the better product but don't want to waste money either.
