Well so far i haven't had a failed delivery report so fingers crossed that you get them, Goodnight
 
Pictures are there although I wish i didn't see this. Great post for owners without galvanized trailers.
 
Thanks for the heads up @Geoff Cooper. I'll be checking mine this weekend. Was your trailer used primarily in salt water?
 
First thing to do is don't panic it's only metal then consider the options, Yes it's used in saltwater but hosed down every time, These Trailers rot from the inside out if you look at the first Photo there are no signs of severe corrosion only a small amount of surface rust which is to be expected of a trailer of that age it was only when i went and tested the metal with a screwdriver and hammer i found the extent of the problem.
 
Here are some additional pictures that @Geoff Cooper sent along with his descriptions.

The first Photo is for funny Memes....I need a new Captain this one eats to much

Thanks for that Bruce, I couldn't get out today it rained most of the day so not sorted the computer out yet and the Boat never moved, Funny how i can copy and paste after you put the Pics on but just cant upload, I don't even get the same page as you after you push the upload a file button, Oh well it will be sorted soon I'm sure thanks again hope you don't mind.
 
What a project, glad I upgraded to Galv. . . even though I am primarily in Freshwater.
 
@Geoff Cooper, what operating system and what browser are you using?

Chrome - Google might solve your problem.
I changed from Firefox to Google Chrome as you suggested and it worked straight away, I have no idea why it wouldn't work on Firefox but hey I'm up and running thanks for all you have done, Good Luck.
