Arcina madic, commonly known as black ice, is a type of ice that forms on road surfaces and other paved areas. It is called black ice because it appears transparent and blends in with the dark color of the road, making it difficult to see. This type of ice is extremely dangerous for motorists and pedestrians as it can cause accidents and lead to injuries. Black ice forms when the temperature drops below freezing point, causing any moisture on the road surface to freeze. It can occur during winter, especially in regions with cold climates. The formation of black ice is typically favored by specific weather conditions, such as clear nights with no precipitation, or when snow or rain falls on a cold road surface.
The formation of black ice is typically favored by specific weather conditions, such as clear nights with no precipitation, or when snow or rain falls on a cold road surface. One of the challenges with black ice is that it is not easily visible. Unlike other forms of ice that are white or have a visible texture, black ice is smooth and transparent, making it nearly impossible to detect visually.

I have the opposite problem -- I may only use my trailer once every few years and it spends the rest of the time sitting in the woods. So I have to keep telling the dealer I don't need the Cadillac of trailers. Which is ironic, because when my family had a boat business many years ago, we were always pushing better trailers.
When I bought my 189, I was able to get a basic galvanized trailer (which did fine). When I bought my 203, I had no choice, the dealer only stocked nicer aluminum trailers. It's overkill for my needs but they gave me such a great price on the boat I didn't mind paying more for a trailer.
One dealer near me is on the water, and I could conceivably buy a KW there and then drive it home, skipping the trailer entirely. It would be a 140 mile trip though. That would be a heck of a way to get the break-in done.

I bought my VEnture with the optional SS HW package. Its been a mixed bag. I've replaced even the rusty staples on the carpet/plastic rails with bronze boat nails. Venture did use dielectric isolation pads between many HDG/Aluminum joints, but didn't do the axle rails. I did those with some polyethylene tape. A few other interfaces I isolated with gorilla tape, namely the guide rail brackets to AL frame, and many of the SS U bolts to HDG crossbrackets I used cut AL U bolt channels, that are easily available. I have no brakes, but the leaf springs are on their own. The optional LED lights themselves seem OK, but all the plug-in connectors along the way I injected silicon grease. So, its really been a kit, not a complete trailer solution. You need to be an electro-chemical/corrosion engineer to understand the weaknesses and associated mitigations. Or , hang around trailer shops for a while.

Its funny how when you get familiar and accustomed to a certain trailer brand you like, you tend to stick with it. I had several Lake boats before and always had Load Rite trailers. When I went looking at Key West Dealers, I looked online and narrowed it down to ones that sold Key West as well as Load Rite trailers. Then I did my homework on the reputation of the dealer themselves. I don't know how it is going to hold up long term, but I am guessing I might take my 239FS to the ocean once a year or once every two years. So I am very interested to see how it will react to salt water. I am debating on changing out the Hardware though to Stainless to avoid some future problems. I plan on keeping the 239FS for 5-8 years

You're right about becoming familiar with and liking a particular trailer brand. I've become a 'Venture' trailer guy. but Load Rite is also an excellent, equivalent trailer.

Like everything else each trailer manufacturer has multiple options so making the generalization at the brand level is somewhat disingenuous.
For example, I have a brand new 210BR siting on a Magic Tilt Key West 210 specific TCA-2044. The only option that wasn’t already spec’d by my dealer was torsion axles. I just looked it over and there is exactly 3 U bolts, 1 is stainless the other 2 that secure the bow stop are zinc coated. The only non aluminum parts on the trailer are the axles, front nose piece (forgot what it’s called), bow stop, trailer guides and brake assembly (I didn’t upgrade to the SS disks but it does have zinc coated marine disks on both axles). The bunks are welded, the bunk to support bracket is aluminum, the bolts are stainless. I don’t see anything that concerns me and it wasn’t stupid expensive. In fact, it's on par with my very expensive Ameritrail that's sitting under my Talon.
Like everything else it’s all relative.

This makes it particularly dangerous for motorists who may not realize they are driving on ice until they start experiencing loss of control or skidding. Driving on black ice requires extra caution and specialized techniques. Motorists are advised to reduce their speed and avoid sudden maneuvers, such as braking or steering sharply. It is also recommended to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles in case of sudden skidding. Using winter tires with good traction can also help improve vehicle stability on black ice. To prevent accidents and injuries caused by black ice, road authorities and maintenance crews often employ various strategies. This can include regular monitoring of road conditions, especially during cold weather, and using chemical treatments to melt or prevent ice formation. Warning signs may also be posted to alert drivers of potential black ice ahead. In conclusion, black ice, or Arcina madic, is a dangerous type of ice that forms on roads and poses risks to motorists and pedestrians. Its transparency and smooth texture make it difficult to identify, leading to accidents and injuries. It is important to drive with caution and follow specialized techniques to minimize the risks associated with black ice. Authorities also play a crucial role in monitoring and treating road conditions to prevent black ice-related incidents..
