trailer needed
 

have a 36 outlaw that really needs to have a trailer under it by end of sept. any help out there would be great . looking to have one built if i can't find used one soon. any help or directions to building a new one would be helpful as well. thanks in advance.:signs069:

If going new is an option, I would go with a MYCO. After seeing the one under Dock's 36 I am sold.

i really don't want to spend that kind of money for a trailer that will only be towed 25 miles round trip. this boat will never be taken away from my lake.

Thanks Matt for the kind words on the Myco. I have owned a lot of different trailers but until I owned a Myco I thought they were all the same.

They tow like no other, they are very smooth and stable, your boat is fully supported with more bunks then any other trailer and they are VERY precision. The bunks make loading in strong wind and current easy the first time. You just drop the trailer in the water deep enough for the bow to catch the rear center bunks then back the trailer down under the boat as you pull forward.

The main #1 reason I would never own a different trailer is they are built overkill with 16 inch load range "E" tires and you don't have to deal with flat tires like the lighter trailers.

I know one guy that pulled from texas to Jacksonville this year and had a total of three flats over the course of the trip. I know one guy that towed from up North to Miami last year and had three flats going down alone. Another buddy had a flat going down to Jacksonville from North Carolina and one coming back home. A good friend in Florida bought a custom Florida boat tis year and the boat builder puts their own trailer under them and he is already have trailers light problems, brake problems and has had a flat tire.

We put six brand new tires under our trailer this winter and replaced the spare also that had never been on the ground because they were five years old and I sold them to a customer that is running them now on an F250 Ford. They looked great with almost 40K miles on them.

There is not an equal and you get what you pay for.

If you only plan to trailer 25 miles you don't need one but with one you can cover the country without worries. This year we have been to South Carolina twice, Florida, Tennessee and LOTO (945 miles one way) and the only thing we stop for is gasoline!

Their logo says it all: "Pull it In Style".

I would like to have a brand new one under my boat with a drive guard and electric over hydraulic brakes and would sell mine for 1/2 what a new one would cost which is a steal. I estimate that around $6K.

If you go under the Myco website and click the Baja link you will see our trailer. We are the only Baja in there.

hey dock why would you sell yours? do you have another one? thanks dawg

If you are selling the trailer I would be interested. Let me know.

6k is a DEAL for that trailer.

I would be interested in buying a new Myco with drive guard and electric over hydraulic brakes.

I just completed a 1200 mile trip to Lake Erie this last weekend and "NO PROBLEMS", NO FLATS! If you are serious about trailering around the country like we are then there is no other trailer to own.

A buddy pulled my rig from Coastal Marine about 18 miles East to Sandusky Bay this weekend and commented on how nice it towed.

I have not priced a new Myco and may get sticker shock, but would consider upgrading.

I'll price a new one and make sure they have not gone up too much and let you know.

Call Loadmaster Trailer in Port Clinton Ohio,they are very accomodating,800-258-6115.I have one under my 33' Outlaw,it's a great trailer for the money.

I've been there and done that and it is no fun being broke down with a trailer and a heavy boat sitting on top of it.

They (Myco) owe me nothing but a good product and they delivered that 110%.

I learned the hard way also and bought trailers on price and got what I paid for. We had friends with Myco's and I saw first hand the difference and told myself from then on I was buying the best.

The problem I see with most trailer manufacturers is that they are in a very competitive market and they are going to build you a trailer that is just what you ask for or just enough to get the job done. I can point to a dozen trailers that are overloaded as soon as you add fuel and gear to the boat.

In my industry when we design drives for conveyors, etc we build in a service factor of usually 1.5 meaning that if the customer wants to handle 20 tons of product an hour then the system can actually handle 30 tons. So he is not working it to death and can increase the capacity which they usually always do without killing the machine.

On my Myco I have six 16 inch load range "E" tires on the ground and three axles that will handle a total weight of 18,000 lbs. The trailer + boat + fuel + gear are only a total of 12,500 lbs worse case. So this means that I have a safety margin of 5,500 lbs which gives me very dependable service.

Add that to the fact that their trailers are very precision and custom built for your boat, and the axles are perfectly set in line which gives very little tire wear. Then you have LED lights standard and the bow stop is second to none.

They are expensive but when I can head out anywhere in the country at any time and expect to arrive without a problem that is money well spent in my book.

Doc,

Love your website! Also glad to see you will be down here for the Sarasota Poker Run in October!

have a chance to buy a myco but it isn't built specifically for my boat, i was wondering if you would reposition the bunks if it would still be a good trailer or should you just bite the bullit and build one for the boat you have?

Thanks Keith, I just updated the site to include last weekends run at Lake Erie.



We are sure looking forward to the run and boating in your area. Remember that if you own a Baja that the entry fee is half price. I'll see you there!

They are welded bunks. It would be hard to cut them and get them in the exact location they need to be for your boat and have the right contact and fully support the hull. Then you have the issue of axle location, boat weight etc.

I would not touch that even if I did not trailer much.

If you look on the tongue Myco stamps in the boat brand and size they built it for. On mine it says "36 Baja".

Good luck

hey dock did you sell your trailer? or are you selling your trailer? i can't remember who i have talked with on this issue. thaks dawg

I have Myco pricing a brand new trailer for me and I will have an answer for you tomorrow on whether I can afford to sell mine and what the price will be.

I'll be back in touch with you.

Thank you

WOW they have gone up!

A new trailer today direct from Myco exactly like the one I have is $12,900.00.

Call Bill at Myco if you want to confirm the numbers.

Delivery is 4-5 weeks ARO.

My trailer has all new bearings, seals and brake pads as of this last winter and I replaced ALL six tires on the ground with new Goodyears which are exactly what Myco uses. I also replaced the spare which had not been on the ground but was four years old. It has a custom tool box that was $500.00. It has full LED lights all the way around and surge disk brakes on the front two axles.

The trailer is in perfect condition and I would head to California with confidence tomorrow with it.

If anyone wants to buy it I will let her go for $7,500.00.

A new one like I want with drive guard, two spares, electric over hydraulic brakes and electric winch is $15,700.00.

Send me a PM if anyone is interested with your phone number and I'll give you a call.

SOLD

Thanks Kevin you will be glad you went with a Myco.

I got a Nextrail unit which is fine w/ me. Only pulling approx. 2 miles 2x/yr.

KDawg,

I have the title in hand and the 36 is off the trailer.

The wife is going to recarpet the four rear bunks tomorrow and we look forward to meeting you on Saturday.

Dock

No matter how many times I see that it always makes me queazy.

The first thing you do in the morning is make sure it is still standing and the first thing as you drive home is look to see if it is still standing!

Actually those jacks will support 40,000 lbs combined and they lock into position and you can leave the boat there forever.

You can try to shake it and it does not move. I put the crate under the bow just because it looked so funny hanging out there. Just makes you feel better.

The wife was SOOOO nervous but now she is like WOW we did it. I heard her tell someone today the she made sure the insurance was paid up!

Dock

What do those jack's cost? And where do you get them?

I have one of their outdrive jacks also and it is GREAT. Makes one man install of outdrives a breeze.

They weigh 300 lbs each before you put the arms on them. Total weight of the shipment was 1475 lbs.

It's bad enough crawling under a truck even using jack stands but working under that boat like that---I think I would make sure your insurance is paid up in addition to the boat insurance being paid up--sorry--that just looks "unnatural":cool:
Jay

Don't worry I will NOT be under it. It is just there until the new trailer arrives.

Yes the boat insurance is paid up!

dock, when you get a chance give me a call so we can get our times right. thanks

dock, it was great meeting you and tommie sat. morn. thanks for taking the time to run the trailer up this way. it pulled back just fine just hate to have to have one, only because it means i'll be pulling the boat out of the water. looking forward to having you and tommie at the lake cumberland poker run. i'm sure we'll be talking in the near future. thanks again kevin

Kevin,

The pleasure was all ours. It was really nice to meet you also and I could not have asked for a better person to make a deal with like this. We are both looking forward to making the trip up next year and riding on the house boat. It sounds like a lot of fun for sure. Good luck with the trialering and if you have any questions please call me.

After we left you Saturday we had lunch with some friends in Knoxville then went to Gatlinburg and Cherokee and did not get back home till around 9PM. It was a very nice and relaxing day.

Take care
Mark

Well the phone just rang and it was the nice lady at Myco telling me that my new trailer will be complete and ready for pick up next Wednesday the 3rd of October.

ROAD TRIP

I'll be glad to have my baby sitting back on a Myco!
