Boat trailer

I have been watching my trailer closely over the past few years slowly but surely corroding away from the inside out, not galvanized of course. Its hard to know when it will finally let go.
The out side face is well painted but popping out bubbles all over. I started grinding all the crap off the other day & hit it with a coat of paint. Most of these areas are paper thin with small holes here & there. With heaps more to do ,I decided maybe its a waste of human endeavor so quit at that.
I could`nt bare to see my boat punctured by the trailer or worse all over the road so I`m putting my feelers out for a replacement.
Now don`t you guys try & talk me into making one myself as I have already given that serious thought. There`s other things I`d rather be doing!
Can anyone help us out with a replacement or know of one hanging around. Its to suit a 64 Everingham 14,6 long. I will no doubt have to modify something to suit my boat but thats better than having to make one from scratch.
Thanks Eddy.

There is a boat yard on parramatta rd burwood. He always has
Second hand trailers there and not too expensive.

Thanks Dave, checked out Croydon Marine but no joy.
Picked one up off Ebay though, should get me out of trouble :D

Bit far too travel. I'm going to have to do a welding course.
