Hands down Rolls Axle makes some of the nicest aluminum trailers you can buy. They used to only make boat trailers, but they have recently begun making PWC trailers. Check em out:

Definitely not cheap, but not as expensive as the $5000 one that was posted earlier.:bigeyes: I believe I heard that their large double runs close to $2000.

Agreed, but wiring on those can turn into a nightmare, especially with the custom lights.
Oh, and it's only four wires, some relays in the towing vehicle, corroded LEDs in the left brake light, and "the green wire must be touching the ground sometimes".

I've had 2 galavanized trailers in the past years and they both fell apart due to saltwater .
I will spend whatever is necessary to buy an aluminum one next time around .

triton full aluminum deck and frame , torsion axels . removable bunks to put up to three atv's w ramp at back removable . side kit as well available .
i will be ugrading it again to aluminum bunks with starboard slides . the rails you can actually pivot up to hold 2 sitdowns .
another option for you though is a snowmobile clam shell type same frame but wood deck which could be upgraded to aluminum and clame shell top is removable and lifts up to access the skis .

Maybe with an empty trailer but when you load it up with ski's and gear it weighs as much as a regular trailer minus the difference of the aluminum .
I think it would be fine and salt kills everything steel in a few years so I will not buy another galvanized trailer ever .

I sand blasted and re painted my steel old school double stand up Ziemen trailer about 3 years ago. Cheap Earl Schieb paint job. It is no doubt rusty now, but still holding up. I am always keeping my eye open for an upgrade, but if I don't upgrade I bet it will last atleast another 3 years.

plus you only have to drive 5min or less to go ride....
oh yea i dont know if i told u but i was driving down 101 in ventura with my SUV on the back and the trailer popped off the ball when i was doing around 75-80 in the am when it was still dark out...all i could see were sparks coming from behind the truck so i just coasted to a stop, it took about a mile or so to stop...the safety chains were ground almost all the way through and hanging on by a thread..:shocked:

why'd it pop off? no pin through the coupler?

no... the part the ball mounts to is all wallowed out so there is allot of slop, the ball moves like a 1/2" in all directions..i was going to fast on that bumpy part by emma wood and it just popped off...the hitch was still down in the locked position and everything with the pin through it...it was kinda weird..

no..the part thats wallowed out is the hole in the hitch that the threaded part of the ball goes through...the nut is seized on the threads on the ball but its a turn or two shy of being tight...its been like that for a while so now the hole in the hitch is egg shaped..ive put a 5ft breaker bar on the nut and it wont budge so i either need to replace the whole set up or just keep my fingers crossed :fingersx:
the one i am having made started life as small dual runabout trailer. i put 14" wheels on it, big aluminum truck box, diamond plate behind the box before the skis and aluminum fuel jug rack in front. it holds 2 blasters and a sj side by side. whole trailer weighs less than 400 lbs. no wheel hop at all when empty behind and f250.
just waiting on a new dexter axle to arrive then i will finally get it back
painted the enitre frame hammered black with polished and black wheels.
you want an enclosed, i have an all aluminum 20 ft vnose i want to sell. to bad your in vegas
