Default Is my trailer aluminum?

I have a 2000 Z250 Limited Edition same one as this one.
http://www.mariahownersclub.com/foru...z250-sale.html

I'm not sure if it's metal or aluminum
Also does anyone know where I can buy a trailer guide on kit for this type of trailer.
Can i make one myself? Thanks

    If your trailer is just like that one and painted it is steel. Aluminum trailers use an I-beam and are not painted.

    You should be able to find or make guides. Most aftermarket guides are universal. Here's iboat's list:
    Boat Trailer Guides - iboats.com

    Places like Gander, Bass Pro, etc typically have some on hand.
