I picked up a new Triton AT88 trailer a few weeks ago. I debated long and hard about making an old trailer work for 2 machines and decided the old bolted together trailer would need too much time, effort and money to make it do what I needed.

So now I have a new aluminum trailer with a wood deck. It is supposed to be marine grade plywood, but i would like to cover it with something to protect the wood from stains and UV damage.

I was thinking about using the left over bed liner I used when I got my truck a few years ago. Would that be best or would simple stain or paint work better?

Any suggestions or experiences?
