In 2008 the EPA took the lead and nickel out of the hot dipped galvanize. I bought all the hot dipped galvanized frames i could,built before 2009 at scrap prices,so the trailer manufacturers could buy the aluminum to get a head start in the aluminum trailer business. Some of the trailer builders that did not get in the race,went under.Sportsman trailers in Texas was one of them. I bought about 200 of there frames. These frames were all built for mono hulls.I build my sail boat trailers with these frames. I go up with a 2" galvanized pipe,then weld two 3/4" nuts near the top.I brace the risers with two are three 1 1/2"x1/4" angle iron braces with a 1 1/2" pipe telescoping up and down with a swivel pad or runners.
