How strong is brazing? Will it hold up against vibrations from a trailer? Or choppy waters?

If you do a good job of cleaning up the oxide layer and get the temps right brazed joints are really strong, lots of videos of people bending out aluminum before the joint gives. I wouldn't use it for structural stuff, but for hatch lids it's going to give you a good water tight bond and I would suspect it having no trouble with normal vibration of the boat.

Dont do it. I run a machine shop. We use a portable mig gun or tig weld on site. If you want to get it done, go with the SS rivets and permatex

Brazing is strong when done correctly.
