I had issues with "performance" brand trailers out of miami. i ordered a 24 foot 3500 lb galvanized pontoon trailer. and like you said , they stack em for shipping to and from the galvanizing plant. well mine was the biggest,so it was on the bottom, and they dont take the time to load the weight balanced on the axles. so the first one came with 3 out 4 cracked welds at the A frame spot, the next one came with 2 of 4 cracked, and a bunch of spots where the galvanizing never stuck, and the 3rd one came with rust all over it from spots never galvanized. the dealer said, ill just paint it with "galvanizing paint".... yeah right, i ran to the next dealer and paid an extra 500 for all alum and stainless hardware. yeah sure you cant use a torque wrench if ya lube the studs, but if your an experienced gearhead, and you fish saltwater, ya lube em and use your "armstrong torque wrench" and your "shouldertop computer" to make the adjustments. hence the expression , "old salt"
