Taking a Tracker 175 TF w/60 Merc out in Salt Water

My buddy has the same boat he takes it in salt water every once in a while. If you have a painted trailer as opposed to galvanize or aluminum you need to make sure you wash it very thoroughly.

When I started using my painted trailer in salt water, it started rusting in less than a year. After 2 years, the cross supports started breaking and I had to replace the trailer.
