Pete is finalizing everything for me during my family crises with my son's recovery. He is a great family man that puts family first and has graciously and personally taken this project over for me. . The plan is to finish the boat as planed With major Brad Smith Powered 588s and 4L Whipples on the ASD 7s. It's going to be a show stopper. The Interior gauges and motors are all on the"Wall" and ready for completion in a few weeks. Our plans are for full recovery for my son Will, and a father son 2014 boat for next season. Have fun and be safe at LOTO. We will miss everyone this year.

I know you have your issue with your Wicked built Trailer but even Pete at Skater said he could not tilt a 12'x6" x50' Mystic . Your trailer was built by Wicked not American. The American for my 338 Skater which is 10'6" x 33'8" was built by Daniel at Carl's and not by Wicked and it is fine and working well under my 338 Skater. I live three hours from the American shop and drove to their shop every few weeks thru the entire build. It was a collabrative effort between Pete and Carl before Carl retired. Carl acknowledged the problems with the transition of his company to Wicked and your build for the 50' Mystic and he was proactive in warranttee for you at his expense. Please stop bashing based on your bad experiences. My trailer Is not a Skater trailer at a Skater price but works and looks great for my much smaller boat. I'm not trying to start a pissing match and appreciate your input. It motivated me to be proactive in my build to avoid the problems you experience. I don't blame you for being upset but there are a lot of American trailers working well for over ten years on smaller boats.
I have bigger issues to worry about with my son's recovery so this will be my only response.

I will continue to keep your family in my prayers, and for a speedy recovery. It sounds like he is well on his way!
I apologize.
