I'm going to talk to a Champion trailer place in slidell about this. As long as the out side bunks are verticale and adjustable I don't see a problem.
You know it's a shame Boatmate doesn't coat there trailers better because I really like the design and lay out of the trailer. I know a painted trailer is more maintence,but I have never seen water blisters get under the finish like on my trailer. And I just go ahead and blast and paint it but the inside of the frame is rusted bad.

I spoke to a man at our Loluisiana Sportsman Show, and he said that he could make one out of aluminum that would have all stainless hardware. He would make it out of channel or tubeing, my choice. I have seen one posted that he made, and it looked great. I didn't get a price, but I am sure it would be expensive, but maintenance free except for the bearings. There are other options out there.

I talked to this guy Craig that I met at rosethorn lanch that drags a STV and he said a few of his friends got a aluminum trailer made useing their existing axle and wheels for 1500, he said they look nice. I might go check it out before buying a champion trailer. The guy is just about 5 minutes from my house and also builds aluminum boats out of his garage. If you are in metaire you might know the location,He is off the lafitte larose highway.
