Is the Trailer Raw Aluminum or is it Anodized/Alodine treated?? just wondering..

NASCAT, thank you for all the updates in the process of your build. The boat turned out great. Now it's time to burn some gas.

The trailer is constructed out of Mill Finish Extruded 6061-T6 C-Channel & I-Beam

Soooo, Is that cool for Salt Water?? At Cougar we used to Spray the Raw Aluminum with Alodine. That would stop it from being eaten by the salt. Radio towers and antenna's are required to have that treatment as well. I guess the 6061 must be better than the stuff we used 30 yrs ago.. I think they just called It "Aluminum" Lol... :)

6061-T6 is very malleable, formable & easy to weld.

I don't know of any Aluminum Trailer Mftr using any type of specialty alloy nor any coatings.

I'd tell you what I was told to use on it to further protect the trailer from the elements but the EPA would be at my door in minutes so I can post that!:party-smiley-004:

Not that I think you need to or should paint the trailer, Axalta makes Corlar that is great for corrosive environments.

The EPA is cool if you piss on that Trailer..... But That's A Lot of Trailer :) Lol

Really I was just trying to find out how/what was protecting it... I thought salt was Aluminums nemesis.. I'm sure if you rinse it good (Which I know You will) it'll be fine..I assumed they got treated in some way.. Carry On enjoying that thing...

We didn't get to participate in FMO's final event to Sarasota Fri but I did get to do some Gulf Coast boating before I loaded up & headed home. Long haul back to Charlotte & we about dodged the rain until the final 2 hrs. No big deal just a little extra clean up.

Nice

You stick one of the Hendricks packages in the Camaro?

What is the height of the door at your garage?
