Phil,

Good decision. I would have had serious doubts about the integrity of the trailer frame/rails. If the cross members have rusted through the frame can't be too far behind. Even though the forward portion of the frame is not always submerged the after half is submerged with each use. Rusting from the inside is insidious and difficult to detect with out special gear. For your 17 a welded aluminum trailer constructed with C channel would get the job done.
