I'm thinking about doing the under lights. Is yours the 4 or 8 option? I was going to go with 4 if I decided to do the LED's under the hull.

I also have a Pacific under my 35. Fantastic trailer. The two ladders one at each end and the vertical quide-ons are great.

I went with the 10 pair option for my trailer. I think that quantity of lights really provides the best illumination for under the hull.

Well I just put my order in last week with Myco. Deposit is down and production should be complete around December 21. I ended up not going with the under hull LED's since I really don't tow much in the dark. I did add side turn signals and extra side markers along with the safety kit (lug wrench, jack etc).

We have 4 Mycos and our most recent one (2016 Nor-Tech 390) was about double the cost of our first one (2007 for Formula 382). We are close to ordering a new Monterey 335SY and I have naturally gone out to a few of the bigger name performance trailers since that is what I am familiar with. Dont get me wrong, we have had very good luck with our Mycos and between the 4 of them probably have close to 30k miles on them. The only failures have been a couple tire blow outs (which can obviously happen to anyone) and one disk brake lock up. That being said, they seem to be alot more proud of their product than their competitors. I sent a list of very specific options I want and the Manning quote came in about ~ $12,000 cheaper. Still waiting on Broward's price and will now reach out to Evolution and see where they fall compared to the others.

We have the under hull lights on all 4 Mycos that we own. They are nothing more than a 1/4" small LED. They do nothing for you as far as night towing. They are nothing but aesthetics and looking nice. The one thing they do help function as is landing lights if you are retrieving at night, but all the other trailer lights are good enough for that as well.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I strongly suggest 2 spares if you are trailering much at all. Another couple of options we love is the front ladder to get to the bow of the boat, electric tongue jack, electric wireless winch, and full stainless steel EOH brakes.

I don't own a Myco but seriously need to consider adding the electric winch, don't even need wireless. The wifey is of very slight build but hard headed and manually winches it now. I demand to power the bow eye against the bow roller to help but she's always waving me off while busting her ass winching. Adding a couple of front steps to the winch tree would be very helpful for accessing the boat while on the ramp (submerged) as well.

Any idea of what brand lights Myco is using? I was researching lights a coulple of weeks ago and they were 4" long or so and would be over $1200!!!

I'm looking into upgrading my 2003 trailer as well. Agreed with many of the things already stated here. I am leaning to Evo but not fully decided yet.

Absolutely put two spares on the trailer and carry at least one extra bearing/brake kit. I have had one tire blow out and take the second one with it. Used both spares in one shot and now I carry a third spare in the truck. I also had my canvas guy make some matching covers to keep them from getting dry rotted in the sun.

Also, I love my steps I added to my trailer and would never have another trailer without them.
