What kind of trailer did you get?

There was a painted aluminum Myco there and it was a very nice trailer. I wish i would of had Myco paint mine...

Jeff, I had Manning build an aluminum "tandem" for me since we plan on doing some saltwater dipping. After seeing the painted Myco at Active Thunder I decided to go the painted route since aluminum seems to get funky over time. my trailer is done and sitting at Manning. The pictures look good, but I haven't gotten a chance to run over to Michigan to see it yet. I decided to do a tandem vs. a triple due to manuverability. It's still rated at 14,ooo lbs so I should be fine. Please post lots of pictures when your boat is finished, I think Pat is trying to keep these boats a secret so he won't have to work so much :drink: ! Steve

Loved my dual axle Myco. You'll be fine with the tandem Manning, also a good trailer.

Do you need my address so you know where to send the check :drink:. I have considered going with XR's but then I'ld want the 525's to go with them! Do I need them, I don't know, would I like them, you bet. At 430 horse a side I don't think the motor will break the drive, now my in-experience at throttling in seas might! Let's hear opinions on this one, I've gotten several already from friends. My other concern with the XR's is the speed loss from the gears, loose 2 MPH and it might put me under 80 :eek: Steve
