The salt is relentless. Get aluminum.
What sucks is that my project V also came with a beat up galvanized trailer, so I've got to make the same decision as you. I'll save up for an aluminum.

every thing you fixed is the same on Aluminum trailers galv is a much better trailer as the aluminum tend to flex alot going do the road and they are prone to cracking at major supports plus most aluminum trailers still have a steel togue. i own several of both and the steel are twice as strong.
