Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday.
We appreciate the input, comments and other. I just wanted to respond to these items.
What we mean by first submersible trailer for salt is although boaters dunk there trailers in salt, there are problems that arise so the idea was to design a tilt trailer that was designed to be submerged in salt. With tube steel trailers you can dunk them in salt but you can not clean the inside so sometimes it can take years for it to show and the rotting starts from the inside.
This new MYCO is the first MYCO submersible tilt. This is the same trailer that was built for an MTI. MYCO took the trailer back and made a lot of changes to both cradle design and hydraulics. The trailer has been tested and dunked several times in the past 2 months to make sure all the bugs were worked out of it and we will have on display at MIAMI Show and being used as our demo trailer under the new 4400 MYSTIC.
Being that the trailer is painted galvanized it will not have the same curb appeal that a painted aluminum or steel trailer will have and at this time that is the trade off for having a salt water submersible tilt trailer.
LUGO makes a very nice high end trailer and I believe they built their trailer out of CA and relocated to OK, not 100% sure but I have not seen any new trailers from them in a couple of years so I am not sure whether they are now making a submersible salt water tilt or other.
MYCO looked at stainless a few different times although Stainless would be great, it would be cost prohibitive in most cases.
The trailer weighs an estimated 7K pounds with a 24K GVWR, the gooseneck a little bit more.
I have looked at the Skater trailer, and there is NO question that Peter's trailer is excellent and very well built but should not be dipped in salt.
Have a great holiday weekend.

Yes Lugo is in Oklahoma now and is still building trailers. I hope that Myco has redesigned their tilt, years ago when they built a tilt for Danger Zone and Ballistic they would tilt but were still 11 feet wide. As for 7k lbs weight that seems kind of light for a large tilt trailer
