Myco Trailers
 

I wanted to take the time to say THANKS..I had a few items on my trailer that I had some concerns on. I called Bill Tweedie from Myco, explained my situation, and his reply was... Refreshing...especially with all the negativity that has been going on in the offshore world. Bill said he would take care of my concerns, check the trailer out completely and make any and all adjustments as well as return the trailer to my house since he was coming in this direction. What more could I ask for. I did received the trailer yesterday, and Bill is definitely a man of his word. Everything, as well as 1 more item the Myco team found was fixed, and all this to my satisfaction. This was my 3rd Myco trailer as well as I have a cradle for my 43 Nor-Tech on my lift. I am completely satisfied as well as furthered my decision on which trailer co. is by far the best. No questions asked on which trailer will be on my next boat. The other thing that needs mentioning, was the guys that dropped off the trailer..Bob and Chris from Florida Marine transport were the most gracious gentlemen that I have met for being a transport co. They even called to make sure I was completely satisfied on all aspects cause I was not here when they dropped it off. Thank You Bill, as well as the Myco team I appreciate everything.

Happy Boating

I have towed many different trailers around this courntry. When I pull up to a boat and it is sitting on a myco I can feel more assured that I will not have a bearing or tire failure. Granted they are not perfect and I have had failures with them also but that is when the trailer is never serviced and left outside in the florida sun. When ever I do have a bearing problem I know that I can call myco with the model number and they will give me part numbers or cross reference the number so that I can get the new parts asap. Congrats to Bill Tweedie for not only running a great business but also for having bought the company within the last year from the original owner,

I spent some time with Bill at the Louisville boat show while he was working the Outerlimits display. What a great guy. Was very entertaining listening to stories of the good old days in offshore racing and the Thunderboat Row stories. I looked closely at Mentalpause's Myco for his F-4 and I was very impressed with the beefieness and build quality. Great guy, great company, great product.

I never even met Bill but he always did what he said. Nice trailers!

great post Jass, So nice to read something positive and a ray of sunshine in all the negitive things happening in this industry as of late. Thanks and have a great season. :drink:

Jeff, do you have a running count of how many bearings you have rebuilt, and how many tires you have changed? :eek:

0 to date on my Myco's when I owned them. Jeff

not as many as you may assume. but I had one myco that left california to the east coast and I dropped the first bearing in arizona, fixed it and in Indy dropped the next one on the same side. I chained up that axel and kept going since it was late at night. in ohio the next one dropped on the same side so with two out I gave up. so in one trip I lost all three on one side. I finallly loaded the boat and trailer on a landoll and went the rest of the way. But I will say that the trailer was always in salt water and never washed or taken care of. Now coming out of key west this last year I was towing the 50 nortech canada thrust boat and i went via the card sound road due to the constuction and 2 miles from homestead the right front bearing of a new trailer caught on fire. I was looking out the right side mirrow and saw flames. As you know that road is narrow. I stopped and used gatorade to put it out. I made a phone call from there to a fellow OSO member (Buzzilia) and he directed me to a great shop in homestead where a marine shop fixed it up and headed to fastboats. got as far as 826 and tamiami trail and another bearing went. I pulled the wheel and whent to Randy's with 5 wheels turning. I must say though that I am pretty lucky with trailer failures concidering all of the traveling that i due

Good point...what is the time frame in which bearings should be packed..Thanks Jeff

Great product and very easy to do business with. I got my new Myco last fall. Can't wait for Spring!

OSO member "Dock Holiday" IS the bearings expert. He can shed a lot of light on the subject.

depending on how often you trailer I would do them on my own boat that I trailered to havasu alot I did them twice a year, but I had full time mechanics at my truck shop so it did not cost me much. I would recommend doing them at the start of the season and maybe halfway through, again it depends on how often and how far you tow.

and always use USA made bearing (timken). stay away from chinese parts

The new Myco's have an air tight bearing buddy. You pump up the bladder with a soccer ball needle and bike pump.

Kurt, don't loan that deivce to cashbar, He's liable to take it out with him to the nightclubs.

Loved my Myco & it was great to see my Cigarette F-2 - truck & trailer on their wedsite pictures.

Great company, great product and great service= Happy customers :D

I will never have anything but a MYCO under my boat or future boats :cool:

I thought I would let you know know my great customer service story with MYCO. I bought a "left-over" boat a few years back that had a MYCO under it. I had always heard great things about the trailers but when I took delivery of mine (the dealer was out of business) it had all kinds of issues. Tires, breaks, bearings, and a cracked bunk. I called MYCO and talked to cust service and they said that it was too old for "warrenty" and I was on my own!!!! Well I had all of the repairs made and was upset with MYCO. My own mistake was that I just did nothing more. A few YEARS later there was a thread here on oso again praising the customer service of MYCO, and on this one I let the oso gang in on my story. You know what like 24hrs later Bill himself called me and we went over my problems, and he made them right, this was after I owned the trailer like 2-3 years!!! I can not say enough nice things about Bill and his company. I found out thru Bill that the guy I tt first was a screw up and not with the co. any more. I now have another MYCO under my new boat.....BZ

Jeff certainly is nice to hear such good service and customer satisfaction and with Myco I don't ever remembering hearing anything different. Though after 3 trailers and a cradle you should be on the top of their list ;) That's running upwards around $100K in business for them ... I would expect nothing less than the service you described. Although I know the next responses will be they treat ALL their customers this way ... and I'm sure they do cuz as they say "you gets what's you pay for!" :)

If everybody in our industry was more like Bill Tweedie we'd never have anybody to complain about. His commitment to customer satisfaction is evident from the first time you meet him. Kudos Bill!

BINGO!!!!! Folks we have a winner :D

I remember that, glad to hear it worked out. I love my myco, the peace of mind alone is worth it.

I just had a conversation with Bill this morning letting him know how truely pleased I was. At the same time I also asked about the bearing situation. His reply was he ended up putting this new air fit system on, which was not on the trailer earlier, and explained exactly what he did to the trailer. That's customer service...Thanks again Bill.:cool-smiley-011:

What a coincidence. One hour ago I took my 1993 Myco trailer to a fabricator to replace all of the suspension. Concidering the boat came from Delaware the trailer frame is in excellent condition. I am replacing the axles,brakes,spindles and coupler and see no reason, now that I use it in fresh water, that I will never have to replace these components again. Great trailers. Quality construction. Keep up the good work Bill! Bob

Bill Tweedie IS THE MAN!!!!!!

One of the most honest and customer service oriented people in the marine industry BAR NONE!

I have known Bill for quite some time and he is a class act.

I emailed them last week for some pricing and info.
