James,
I hate to disagree, but disc brakes make a lot of sense for folks that are  
on salt water. Shoe brakes and all of their hardware corrode very quickly 
when  exposed to salt water. There are rinse kits for them, but I have never 
heard of  them being very effective.

Disc  brakes have more stopping power and are easier to maintain, but with
that  said, there isn't much need to change to disc brakes on the trailer.
Drum  brakes supply sufficient stopping power for the load they are expected
to  carry with the Rhodes.  And with the number of times you will ever end  
up
changing the brakes on the trailer yourself, the maintenance side of it  is
unimportant (other than to the guy in the shop).

He is either  recommending you change the brakes to disc brakes because he
wants the  additional money from the sale, or he really hates working on 
drum
brakes  (I wouldn't blame him much).  Either way, it's an added expense  
that
really doesn't do anything for  you.
