![]() I am not in the trailer building business, thankfully. To me, the use of galvanized components is normal and you will see that on every off-the-shelf aluminum trailer. If your Magic Tilt didn't have these pads, that is almost surely the cause of problems. As required, they use polymer pads and shims between dissimilar metals, which is a must to ward off galvanic corrosion. The main beams are aluminum, but almost everything else is galvanized steel or stainless steel. My current trailer is a Venture, very nice trailer. There are only 1-2 trailer component suppliers in the US that I know of and all their brackets and attachment parts are galvanized steel. Trailer components tend to be generic and used across different trailer brands. But I have owned several aluminum trailers from different brands and they all have galvanized pieces and brackets. I don't think you can buy an off-the-shelf aluminum trailer that doesn't have at least some galvanized components - many trailer parts are only made with galvanized steel, whether because of commodity or structural reasons I can't say. I left the brakes off because I only tow the boat 1 mile to a ramp. I ended up spending $1400 to bring the trailer up to good condition and this is not even fixing the brakes. I think it is just a poor decision by Magic Tilt. My point is why build an aluminum trailer and use galvanized components which will not last. Lug nuts were plain steel not Stainless.There were other issues like the brakes not working but this is pretty common for salt water trailers. The bolts supporting the bunks were steel not aluminum and nearly disintegrated, the guide post were galvanized and one had fallen off last year from corrosion I have now replaced both with aluminum. The repair shop I went to was excellent and showed me the problems with this trailer. Since I only use the trailer to travel about 1 mile to the ramp I have not had my trailer serviced until this year. I use the trailer about 5 times per year and have always washed off trailer after using in salt water. I have a BR 230 with the custom Magic Tilt trailer.

The overall length is 22'8" and width is 102". Will consider a foreign if you do the arrangements on the shipping and pay in full. The trailer is available for local pickup but I am willing to help you ship it, including driving it to a carrier with 25 miles of Charleston, SC. The trailer has either been garaged for covered with a tarp for its entire life, so it is in very good shape. As previously noted, the trailer has only been used seven or eight times but I am unsure if the brakes work because my hitch is rigged for a different type of connector.
