Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

When I bought my TopGun down in florida and was going to haul it to New York and travel with it regulary I knew i should put the Myco under it. I order it to be built befoer I went down and got it and it looks and pulls great. Mine lives on the trailer for the most part so set up is important. If it was just to move it from one place to the next once or twice a year then maybe not worth the money, but if it will be sitting on it alot and be hauled alot, buy piece of mind and by the Myco.

I'll just buy 1 of each to keep everyone happy. :fish:

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

because $ are an issue for him at this point from what I understand, and he doesn't trailer any great distances...that's how! :)

how quick were you to take the "lesser" trailers you've owned to the landfill 'cause they didn't fit and didn't work?

What's under that Formula you have for sale?



Downtown...we'll take up a collection of "other people's money" to get you a Myco...we'll see how it goes. :p

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

OHHH, do you need another tow vehicle too! :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

The formula has what came with the boat, its an ok trailer, but takes more time at the ramp to make sure it's sitting proper, the necks/winches are designed to accomadate many diff styles of boats, the pressure point on the bow of a fountain is different than the points on a cig and a formual, so you have what is known as close enough, so your sacrificing something. I didnt see a mention of hurting for money, if that is the case, then he will do what he can afford, the original question was why was the Myco 5K more and is it worth it, yes it is To me, I knew I wasnt going to keep it, so i didnt upgrade. I'm not trying to spend his money, nor am i trying to tell him to go cheap to save a buck. I'm in the automotive industry and I see what skimping can get. I offered my advice/opinion based upon what I felt was a security, towing 2800 miles in 6 days gave me that security, and having my boat, regardless of make, sitting on a trailer that was made for it TO ME is justification enough.

As far as the lesser trailers, they were sold as I didnt want them, kept the boat on the lift at beach house, when the boats were sold, the purchaser bought their own trailer.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

MYCO. Custom built to YOUR boat! You get what you pay for...peace of mind, security and excellent customer service.

It's amazing how many boaters will spend alot of money on their boats and buy a sh*t trailer. You must have a well built, straight towing trailer with the bunks made right for your boat. There are alot of good trailer manufactureers out there, Myco just stands at the top.

When I was looking around for an aluminum trailer for my 33' Powerplay, I checked alot of companies and decided on an aluminum MYCO. My boat has a full stagger, (unusual for a 33' boat) which Bill @ MYCO asked if it was a staggered config. Nobody else asked this question, Bill at Myco built the trailer exactly for a 33' Powerplay upon the center of gravity for MY boat for it's best balance. He also did it in a tandem axle instead of a tripple axle....it's alot easier to move around. The trailer tows like a dream. Looks awesome too!

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Dave,
I know that you keep your boats for a long time and take care of your equipment. I would try to get the $5k down, then I would pull the trigger. The boat will fit perfect.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

:cool: MYCO! Five year structure warranty on Welded Aluminum OR painted steel Mycos. Salt water will not void that, not that it applies to you. :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Nothing but A MYCO.... Pull it in style

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

This is my .02 had a both a Van Guard and a Myco. both under fountains.

1)Myco=hard to get the boat on I tried everything..
2)Van Guard=boat went on fine.
3)Myco=cust service+Bill=BAD
4) Van Guard=never had any problems

Save your money buy the Van Guard and see you at Summerfest....BZ

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

WOW! I have to say that is the first time I've ever heard that! Fortunately for us, we had a great experience with Bill and Myco. Bill went above and beyond what he needed to and the customer service was excellent!

I can tell you, we will NEVER use anything but a Myco trailer!

Good luck with the search, Downtown42! :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Downtown 42 ,
Checkout Loadmaster Ltd. in Port Clinton, Ohio. No relation to Loadmaster in Florida.

They build steel trailers using open channel. The bunks supports can be welded or adjustable. They did a trailer for my 32' sportfish Fountain. It's a 1996 and that year fountain had two hull step configurations for this model.
They got with Fountain and did the step correctly. Their finished product looks as goos as everything discussed here.
They'll do any custom work you want.
Also there close to Illinois.

I have heard a lot of good things about Bill but he would not give me the time of day when I needed help with my CURRENT myco.....BZ

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I just bought my second Myco. My Motion came with a the typical trailer most boats (except the high end boats) come with. I won't name the brand. I hated it after having a Myco once before. Sold the trailer and spent the money on the best a Myco. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! No bouncing, tracks straight, fit like a glove and great brakes. If you only haul very short distance get the cheapo. More than 50 miles go in style.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Bob,
Sorry to hear that! Maybe if he sees this post he will contact you and try to help you out!

Good luck! :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

This is why Kenneth and I will continue to buy our trailers from Myco! Way to go, Bill!

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Bill from Myco hooked me up on my trailer and a year later call him on some other ?'s he called me back.1st class company in my book.Now days service is a thing of the past but so far not at Myco.Thanks for your help Bill.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Nothing but MYCO here. I've had nothing but great service from Tim, Don, and Bill. I liked the trailer so much I bought a cradle to put under my 41 APACHE. You need to watch closely that mfgr's are using the same parts, some make their own axles by welding the spindles on and just using the dexster hubs, been there, done that. Rippem, you better be using a plan to smooth out those bunks on your trailer, 'cause on your FORMULA, the stringers are glued in, not glassed in, and you will poke a hole in the bottom of your pride and joy. Just give Scott Porter a call and ask him what will happen if your trailer isn't set-up properly.
THERE AIN'T NO BETTER THAN A MYCO

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Myco...

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I'm WELL aware of my boats construction, but thank you. ;)

My present Eagle fits it like a glove. Like the two Eagles have I've owned previously.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Yahh your wife is getting one fast boat.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

hi GL...hope you are doing good. Still building homes on side? Dave Brown

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I have a Vanguard, nice but I had to send it back for refit...for $5k I wouldn't feel bad if i had to shim some bunks on my own though.
BTW...The myco flexs more because its open channel but lighter in weight, the Vanguard is box and is heavier.
If you want to see them next to each other, theres a Myco with a 42 Fountain on it next to mine in the storage building.
Click on the pic.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Even though she likes the Vanguard...I would tell the wife to go with the Myco on the next boat. :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Good choice :drink:
Now lets see some pics of that 42!

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I think that's on a boat in the background....or maybe you knew that already?

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Did anyone expect anything other than what has been said after reading the original question?:)

I prefer my Eagle trailer myself. Price was right and it is also custom fitted to my hull. I don't understand the reasoning behind Myco not covering the back side of their fenders. I looked at a Fountain that was on a Myco, and it had many rock chips right at the fender area. But must not have came from the trailer, because they are perfect. Or so I've heard. ;)

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Good to hear Dave, Especially after Bill posted yesterday, I have dealt with them on other items other than the purchase of my trailer, and the driving concern of both Bill and Don in their Tech Dept was things had to be perfect.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Like I said, I have had 2 Myco's. 1 steel one on Radio Active, and 1 aluminum under my 4300 Nortech as well as a cradle. Had some issues with my crank and tower, Bill stepped up and gave me a much larger set up, same kind used on 50, Nortechs, OL and Hustlers. This resolved the problem. I always try to look at how to be better, in my own business, and sometimes **** happens beyond our control, we all are not perfect, all you can do is admit your mistakes, and try to resolve them. I thought it was great with Bill coming on the board. The guy in my book is a real straight shooter, as well as interesting to talk to, thats at least worth 5k more. :p :D Jeff

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I have a 28' Nordic on a dual axel Myco. My tow vehicle, a 2003 Z71 Tahoe/5.3, is marginal for a boat this size. But, the Myco tows great, and the brakes seem to work very well. My truck has 86,000 miles on it and I'm still on my original brake pads! On my last boat and truck, I went through disc brake pads every 20,000 miles.
Most 28 Nordics come with the factory triaxel, which is a good looking west coast bling deal, but it sits so low, speed bumps and steep driveway ramps can be a problem.
My best friend pulls his 29' Fountail on what appears to be an identical Myco (except for bunk arrangement) and he's never had any problems either.
MYCO!

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

UPDATE: I thought I would let eveyone know that I tt Bill yesterday And I think that even after 3 yrs with the trailer having to be fixed with my own $$$ Bill and I will be able to work something out..It's a long story but after talking to him, we will see what happens it might be a 180 deg. turn-around for me...might just be a mix-up that took 3yrs to fix....BZ

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

That's good to hear! I hope everything works out for you, Bob! :D

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

Not sure about others but, our fenders are covered.

Re: 5k more for Myco Trailer
 

I thought I would follow up on my Myco. deal. sent all of the stuff that Bill T. asked for over a week ago and still nothing not even a phone call. It looks like it's business as usual at Myco.
