Coolest gooseneck....???
 
Hi guys! What is the best looking and best quality gooseneck trailer for a Fountain 47 Lightning? We want a trailer that is not bigger than neccesary. I know MYCO and Broward are making goosenecks. What othr brands are good? Price and service level and also customization is important. And what brakes woulod be the best?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Driftwood from Seabrook TX. David will build anything you want at a fair price. Electric over hydraulic is the ONLY brake system to use

stick with myco, you may pay more but you get what you pay for

Driftwood
 
Bottomfeeder, your PM is off. I would like to see the photos of issues with Driftwood. I have a Techsun that had a few problems, but I sorted them out. When David took over this he said he made major changes that would take care of some of the problems I had with Techsun. Thanks [email protected]

Bottomfeeder problems
 
I have not heard a word from Bottomfeeder re: Driftwood issues. Driftwoods website is http://www.driftwoodtrailers.net.
I dont think you will get an immediate reply as they are literally under the weather due the hurricane Ike.

I havent watched this thread for a couple days but I'll send you some photos of issues I tried to rectify to no solution with Driftsh!t Under-rated (GVW)Chinese tires, oblong/oval holes drilled for adjustable bunks, dirty welds with so much porosity I'd be afraid to put any thing of any substance on it except maybe for storage,,,

Here are a few examples: Spare tire was mounted against EOH pump, dented and leaking now, Crappy welding throughout, 75% of all mounting holes were drilled at an improper angle-not square to the frame or supports with no washers installed, nuts pulled into the frame or supports, crossmembers are not flush to the inside of the frame,,,, the list goes on and on,,,,

Its a steel Myco, white, and its in Southern California, USA.

He bought it from a friend of mine who had it here in Virginia/East Coast/USA.

I don't know about the others, but I can tell you that Myco builds a nice gooseneck. We had a Myco built for our 45' Apache and it was certainly top notch. It was pretty much loaded and even carried 100 gallons of fresh water and a wash down system so we could flush and clean the boat anywhere. No searching for a hose or waiting in line to use one after a poker run! It was nice!

Where do they get their welders from, the Salvation Army?? :rolleyes: How they could put out a product in that condition is beyond me. :mad:
