whats a "crown"
nice work

It had a big sag to it with the high point over the axles. I really don't know what makes a myco so great, It really wasn't built all that strong. Without the boat on it the amount of flex in it was unbelievable

I`d be afraid that on a steep launch that nose is going to be kissing the ladder. I put a rubber bumper on my winch stand cause theres been some marinas it was a close one. 31st comes to mind.Maybe it looks closer in the pics than it is.

Theres actually quite a bit more distance than there was... at the shootout I was on a really steep ramp and the winch drum got both sides of the bow... took care of that before the old girl gets a makeover in the next year or two!
