Default Used Myco or New lesser brand ??

What's a better way to go ? Seems I can get a used Myco for the prices I am getting quoted for brand new trailers from other manufacturers.........in this case is new, new or is Myco that much better that I can just fix up any needed repairs such as welds, tires, brakes etc,etc......and be in better shape.....

If u have the money , GO MYCO...the Myco's are welded C-chanel and others are I-beam.
The C-chanel are the best u can have in either steel or aluminum!
My steel Myco is 19 years old and i use it in salt water always..little rust on some spots but still nothing major and after a repaint last year looks like brand new.
The aluminum ones will last forever!!!!

If u go used , 100% trie to find disc brakes and torsion axle trailers. Otherwise go new on the cheaper ones..but I-beam flex and Myco's don't!

Hope that helps.

I've noticed too there seem to be a lot of good deals on used Myco's.

This is just my opinion, but if there were used Myco's as cheap when I bought my Hi-Tech as they seem to be now, I would have gone with the Myco. Don't get me wrong I am very happy with my Hi-Tech, but I just feel like Go-Fast boats just look right on big C-channel/boxed trailers.

so lets say your being quoted 8-10 given your avatar is a 358 sonic I'm, just throwing out a guess, on price, you want to spend that much money and need to do work because it says myco? seems like you'd would be better off with new to me, I see your in N.Y. give Bill at performance trailers a call, tell him Sam sent you, he's in lake George, he builds a awefully stout trailer, I love mine!!

I agree......any problems with the Hi-Tech ? I priced one from them and the trailer really won't get to much use.....maby 2-4 times a year........
