aluminum vs steel trailers - how much more?

At the boat show, I spoke to several trailer manufacturers. They said aluminum trailers from them are no more expensive than a steel trailer. It's more about personal preference. Aluminum flexes more than steel going down the road, but does not have the corrosion problems in salt water.

Btw, they were $1700 less than the same basic trailer from Owens & Sons.

I worked at a big dealer in CA and every Cig and OL we had come through the lot was on a Myco and we would dunk them all the time and they never seemed to rust. I know eventually any coating will be penetrated and the steel will rust but it seems they have a good coating to start with.
