yes- the fenders are getting coated with Shark Hide. The rest will be left raw as far as I know.

My last aluminum trailer was 12 years old and still looked like new. Once a year clean it with some aluminum brightener, and it will stay looking like new.

What’s the build time for the trailer?

I’m not sure what it is now, but it was an 8 week wait, once the deposit was sent.

That fender looks like stainless.

lol- I thought the same thing when I saw it. Zoom in, the protective wrap is still on it.

Your going to wish they clipped the first two crossmembers. Way easier to do during the build. The geometry looks like they will drag on a less that perfect ramp. Weld quality looks really nice.

I have what is basically a twin to this trailer and have never had an issue with it dragging but your comment has me thinking about it now.

If you launch at a well designed ramp with a soft vertical curve at the top...no issue. If the ramp has a sharp curve you can get hung up or break the crossmember..all from experience. Beautiful trailer though!

The trailer should be fine as it is. I looked at my McClain trailer yesterday, which was built the same way and there was no evidence of it ever dragging on the front crossmembers. Then there was a new Outerlimits next to it, on a new painted aluminum Myco, again built the same way, and no evidence of it scraping either. I'll keep an eye on it when I launch, but I think it will be fine.
