New Myco for my Cig
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just got my new Aluminum Myco for my TG. Took about 6 weeks to build.
Should tow nice w/ torsion springs vs leaf sping on my old steel Myco.

Question: How do you keep the aluminium looking nice. I tried to polish about a 4 foot section with Speedy Metal polish and Frenzy Shark Tower, but made more of a mess than any progress. Tried w/ a Mothers Powerball and by hand. . . . . .?

That boat is a twin step, you can't have one continuous bunk, it will catch on the step when you try to load and unload it. The other reason is for a place to put the slings around the boat to lift it off and on the trailer. Myco puts a lot of thought into their trailers, besure that the trailer is perfectly level to keep the load the same on all the axles, unlike the leaf spring type they don't distribute the load the same way. Great looking trailer, it should tow very nice.

You will love that trailer. I have had mine for 2 years and pulled my gun across I-10 from Fl to Az. @ 75 mph it tracks perfectly behind my truck. The electric over hydraulic brake controller and brakes on all three of my axles makes braking safe and confident with a 11,000+ pound boat riding on top. I have never had to do anything to keep the finish looking like knew other than wash it down when the boat gets washed. Congrats and enjoy it!

Best way to keep it clean is not to get it wet! Don't laugh I know a guy with a 4 year old trailer that has never been dunked. He gets boat lifted on/off rather than getting trailer wet!

I did exactly that w/ my steel Myco. Didn't want that sucker to rust!
