    Skeeter ZX150 Trailer question

    Are all the bass boat trailers painted trailers? I dont see any with galvanized or aluminum. I fish a lot of salt and brakish water in south Louisiana and not sure if a painted trailer will last.
    Thanks

    Mine has the truck bed liner material which I believe is standard, the small swing tongue part is painted for whatever reason.

    Thank you. I guess the better question is: Has anyone used these Skeeter Tuff coated trailers in saltwater and had any issues? How do they hold up in saltwater? It looks like if you buy a Skeeter bass boat, thats what your gonna get. Thanks for any feedback.

    I have a buddy that used his in brackish water. Used it maybe 3-4x a year in brackish. He washed it immediately after pulling out each time. Within a year, there was evidence of rust and even wiring issues on the trailer and within the bilge compartment.
