Unfortunately no. We did some welding on a buddies trailer and used the cold galv spray and it did not protect it. I had my Sport 15's trailer hot dipped by a local galvanizer. That is the best way to help protect a metal trailer from salt water.
If you go the used way, look for an aluminum trailer. If you are going to trailer a good bit and frequent salt water, there will not be a "budget" method. Even on an aluminum trailer in salt water, you will have to replace springs and axles eventually.
