I know the aluminum they use in making these trailers is mostly salt water proof but I would feel more comfortable being able to wash the salt off the entire surface and not just the outside. Just my opinion. I wouldn't shy away from hot dipped galvanized. I had my 1984 Cox galvanized trailer rebuilt with new rollers, bunks,winch, wheels, bearings and springs and it'll probably outlast me. Most of its life has been in salt water but it was well maintained.
