    Bullet Trailer Question

    So I’m continuing my research on a Bullet. Question for you guys on the trailers.
    Can you get a trailer with steel C-channel frame that’s road armor coated, not tube frame/painted? The tube frame seems like a bad idea going in and out of the water all the time and seems like it’s just going to rust out.
    Also, are Bullet trailers leaf spring or torsion axle?
    Grease hubs or hybrid/vault style?
    Thanks

    U can get leaf or torsion. I have had two boatmate tube trailers & had both galvanized & painted to match boat. No problems at all. It is a cheap upgrade & well worth it. I would not own a painted only tube trailer.

    That’s what scares me, a tube frame trailer is going to rust from the inside out in a marine application and both galvanized and aluminum have they’re downfalls when it comes to load carrying.
