I am in christhurch and would like to replace my rusty boat trailer. Rather than sink good money into patching it up I want to get a new one. The 2 names that come up after searching are mudgeway and Trailer services ltd. Ill talk to these guys, but does anyone know of other south island suppliers / fabricators? If I had more spare time I'd almost consider buying something prebuilt in Auckland and pick it up myself. But that could be time better spent out on the water....

I'd give trailer services a look. They use C section steel which is superior to box section imo. No chance for salt to build up inside and do its thing. 

My boat trailer is C section steel and was made in 1980. It's still good, though I completely stripped it, and had it sandblasted and regalvanised about 3 years ago. I use a handheld spray unit to wash it immediately after each and every dunk.

Thanks heaps for the reply,
C section is definitely the way to go, not many seem to use it, I guess engineering wise they have to account for some twist and a little more work to fitup for welding. But totally worth it

This is the way I'll hopefully go.
