I have a skater tilt trailer under my Skater 40 classic. It's amazing! Trouble free, always works, amazing craftsmanship... I asked Pete about building one for the mystic, but is 12' wide, he isn't interested in trying.. I don't blame him.

As for lugo, I had Paul quote it when I had this built. He came in at $225,000.00 for a trailer.. Lol, not gonna happen... That being said, I know he's also been trying to build a tilt for Fusco's new 46 extra wide skater.. I haven't heard that he has accomplished that, and it's been in the works for quite a while.

just curios what your current trailer cost.

i towed a 388 skater with a skater tilt, nice trailer but we were parked next to predators Lugo tilt trailer, it seemed to be nicer.

more supports on the rack and tilt system. the skater flexed to the point of almost letting the boat hit the trailer plus the hydraulics seemed to be weak. just saying.......

i got to see a LUGO a few yrs back at havasu and and the trailer is a work of art. one would have to educate themselves to see all the little difference in quality but the Lugo was several steps above all the others. dont know what they cost but like they say you get what you pay for.
Yes, I was just there inspecting one of my customers trailers.

What a joke. I have a Myco 5th wheel flat tow on order.

Tom. Wow! I feel for ya and Hope you get this all worked out. Not fair that companies can charge so much money and deliever such a poor product, then not take care of it! Thanks for sharing your story with us though.

Myco did not take care or Tracey like they should have, I remember all the B.S he was going through last year.

Good luck and look forward to seeing you on the water this summer!

weren't you experiencing a delay when you applied your brakes?...I have an '11 F450 and have pulled four different Mycos....three of them all had a 1-3 second delay with the brakes but the fourth one worked perfect...Myco could not explain it....three of the four had the "patch"on them including the one that worked correctly....I would love to know if you figured out the problem.......I apologize for getting off the subject of the gorgeous Mystic...I saw it at Loto and it is a jaw dropper
