myco verses Nextrail
 

I am trying to decide if I should go with the Myco over the nextrail. I trailer maybe 4-5 times a year and once a year down south. There is a pretty sizable price difference between the two (5-6k). Does it pay off from a resale standpoint? If I trailered every weekend I would not ask, but I do not tow that often..

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

MYCO. Cheap insurance for expensive boat hauling. Great product support.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I have owned two Myco's, and never heard of Nextrail.

There is not a better trailer than Myco period.

I know you don't plan to trailer much but...

The one under my 36 Outlaw is a 2002 model and it has 26,000 miles on it, been in seven states and even the tires look brand new.

They are not only built right, but probably overbuilt.

Your boat is an expensive purchase, the highways are rough and getting rougher. It is a must to have a good trailer in my opinion.

The Myco supports your hull perfectly and makes loading a breeze, especially in strong winds or strong currents, or both!

Well worth the money in my opinion.

Good luck

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Not that a Nextrail wouldn't work (I use a Fastload Aluminum trailer) but comparing Myco to Nextrail is like a thread comparing Cigarette's to Bayliners. If it's for the 37 AT I'd go with Myco if you can swing it. If your launching in salt water with any regularity I'd buy the aluminum.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Well said :stupid: Get the Myco!!

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

the difference in price alum to alum will be more like 6k++ for that boat.

if it's worth that kind of coin to sit around in the weeds, (you say you only may trailer 1/2 dozen times a year),

and you think you'll get that + difference back in resale on your package when the time comes... :rolleyes:

go for it.

If you've got the money to burn for a Myco then there's no reason not to, and you wouldn't have asked this question. :eek:

if $$ are a factor...don't doubt the aluminum fastloads, nextrails, ect., ect. do a nice job...they do. They can be optioned up on brakes (a must) and still be a great value. They go down the road very well, and once set up...are easy to load too. My experience with formerly Towmaster/now Nexttrail was excellent.

and yes...I've had both the catagories of trailer mentioned here.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Myco hands down. IMHO, they are the best of the best and, it looks great under the 37.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I am leaning towards the Nextrail as I really do not tow that much. I am going to talk to the transporter who has hauled my old 37 on a Nextrail and Jassman's 37 on a Myco to see if there was really a big difference. What about resale, does it make that big of a difference...I do not plan on selling this one for a while, but you never know... :evilb:

thanks

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I have a 2004 Nexttrail "Bayliner" trailer that my kick a$$ 37 AT sits on and can personally say that I have no problems what so ever!!!! It is very stable and has larger I beams to keep the flex down. Yes, if I were loaded and could spend the money, sure buy the MYCO, but I am very happy with the way it Tows & Loads!!!! Have towed too Florida twice and all over Va. and my tires look new also????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The added option of 12" DISC brakes is a must.... Keep your money for boat options :drink:

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Very well said... :cool:

I found mine super easy to load and went down the road straight as an arrow!

and NO.. you'll never get the difference back in resale.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Myco.I gave up the jack because a friend said alittle more insurance policy than any other trailer out there.Not that the other trailers are bad Myco just has a better rep.I got the elec. hydaulic brakes and they stop boat,trailer and the truck on a dime.Ordered mine right from Myco got it when i needed it and when they said i would get it.Can't beat that and when i called Myco i got to talk to a real person when i had a few ?'s about the brakes and the lttle black box on the front of the trailer.DON'T GET THE LITTLE BLACK BOX WET.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

My friend just got a Nexttrail trailer for his 38' Powerquest and he loves it. My .02cents

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I tow alot of boats and I would put her on a MYCO, or a VIPER like they have under the new 42. I have pulled both type of these trailers alot and they are awsome. Steve

OH! what do you know your an IDIOT!!!! Bobby B :evilb:


Just messin!!! :drink:

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

i have a nextrail and it took a lot of adjustment to get things just right, i love now, loads easy, pulls great, very even tire wear. i take 1-2 long trips a year with it and would buy another, i bet you will need to adjust it though.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Dont worry about the adjustments, I think if you a buying a new boat from Pat he can handle that for you. I picked mine up from him and it sat perfect. Thats what they get paid the big bucks for.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

ordered a myco a few weeks cost more but looks a whole lot better towing the boat. Hey excursion thought you were going to FL.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Yeah James....Are you in FL? or did those Carlisle come apart this side of Emporia?

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Had a major client throw me a curve ball this week, with some build outs that have to be done quickly. Possiblity, by the middle of the week to head down, not looking good. :(

Back to the question, Yes they do look better, but he is keeping the boat for the most part on a lift behind his house and only tows a couple times a year....I dont think it is worth the extra $$$$$ for that?????

And would you buy a boat or not just because it had a certain trailer??? :rolleyes: I think not??? A trailer can always be changed very easy.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I am not familiar with Nextrail, but I can vouch for Myco. Myco builds a great trailer. They handle well, they hold up well, they support the boat well, they look great and their customer service is absolutely the best. Myco delivers a high quality product and they do it on time! With Myco, you will have your trailer when promised.

One thing to consider that is often over looked when comparing trailers is the bunk placement and support system under the hull. Even though a trailer looks good and tows well doesn't mean that it is taking care of the boat. The hull of the boat can be damaged on a trailer that does not evenly and correctly support the weight of the boat. Though the effects are greater while going down the highway, the hull can also be damaged on a poorly designed trailer even if it is just sitting in the yard for any length of time. With Myco, each trailer is made to fit a specific boat so that the hull is supported and cradled perfectly.

Again, I am not familiar with Nextrail, but I know that Myco does it right!

Cheap ass :p crack open that wallet. MYCO or Nothin :drink:

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Myco, Call and ask to speak to Bill Tweedie, Top notch people, when I picked mine up, got the tour, and each Myco is done according to blueprints and jig and WELDED, not bolted together. When I went to load up the Tiger it sat perfect, whole load up took less than 15 minutes, took longer to thread the straps. the thing to me about the bolted together ones (I have one under my 311) is the flex when turning at ramps and backing. it puts quite a bit of load on them and you can watch them twist and the boat does some crazy aerobics while it is flexing.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

no doubt, Myco is an awesome product. If I had the extra ching, I'de buy one. But for price and reliabilty the Nextrail is a good (not great) trailer.

We have a Nextrail, formerly Towmaster, (3 years), pulling a 28 Pantera (5500#) up and down the east coast and haven't had any problems yet . Now that I just cursed my self, I'll probably losean axle on the next trip. :D

You'll be very happy with the Myco, but will not be dissapointed with the NEXTRAIL

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

:eek: Get the Myco! They have all the blueprints to the hulls and when you receive your trailer it will be stamped with the make and model boat. If it's a stepped hull, like mine, go for the Myco. Fits like a glove under my boat!

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Get the Myco, Aluminum. Also Dan, If interested I know a real nice guy :p , that has 2 unused cradle bunks for that Chief, call me. :drink:

my opinion may be a little biased because i am the founder of nextrail . call me at 18009288533 .my name is brad sprecher and i will give you all the honest answers you need to make an informed decision

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I got klunked 5k extra for the Myco. Main reason is boat will not develop any hooks as hull will lay flat and even on EVERY BUNK. Pay for what you get like most anything. Re-sale will help as buyer will know you don't cut corners.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I don't know anything about Nextrail so I would never speak about them good or bad. I did buy a Myco for my new boat this year, and a transporter ended up getting in an accident and jackknifed the trailer. I will never own anything but a Myco again. Bill Tweedie from Myco went out of his way to assist me from the point of the accident to getting me a new trailer built in a matter of days in order to help me out. A true proffessional in every way!!!! If the boat had not been on that trailer I believe there would still be pieces of fiberglass on I-75. The trailer ended up totalled, but only one scratch on the sponson of the boat where it hit the guys cab. I truly believe any other trailer would have snapped and sent the boat flying!!! The Myco tongue bent completely around the guys truck without even a crack in the paint let alone the steel. I will post pictures at a later date because something is wrong with my re-sizing software. Just my.02

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I bought a Nextrail last year and have had no problems. They manufacture them in Ocala, Florida and built mine without even taking a deposit. Trailer was built in less than 10 days and Sunsation uses them for their aluminum trailers so they already had specs on my exact hull. Guys even stayed late so I could get the trailer after getting stuck in traffic. Myco has the brand name recognition but Nextrail is an excellent alternative at their price point.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

It is not fair to compare a nextrail to A bayliner unless you have owned one personaly . nextrail has trailers under 4 out of 6 of the fountain race boats currently on the circuit every one is more than satisfied.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

Thanks for joining. Competition is great, and keep up the good work, it sounds like you have satisfied your customers. Good Luck :cool: Jeff

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

good to see a manufacture step up and post directly on the board........that kind of thing goes a long way here on OSO......just ask Fred from Trick Marine!!!

hang in there.....dont worry about the naysayers

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

I bought a trailer from Brad a few years ago. Straight-up, great price, and when the extra mile to accomodate me.

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

i have had two myco's just bought a new fountain and had my choice of myco or any other trailer.i looked into this very carefully and went with manning.yes myco is tops but after visiting the plant and saw how they were manufactured i went with them. a third less money.the thing myco has on any manufacture they have more computer graphics of boat hulls then manning but besides that if you put them side to side with out a name you in most cases wouldn't know the diffrence.just my 2cents

Re: myco verses Nextrail
 

If Its Any Any Help I Just Sold A Nextrail That I Bought In 2001 On Ebay. Really Didn`t Lose Any Money, The Trailer Still Looks New It Just Didn`t Fit The Top Gun Correctly. Having Loadmaster Ltd In Ohio Build A New Custom Trailer. If Your Considering A Myco Style Trailer It Might Be Worth Looking At Loadmaster, They Are Also Putting Alot Of Trailers Under Fountains Right Now. The Only Thing I Didn`t Care For With The Nextrail Was How The Aliminum Trailers Flex When Going Down The Highway Other Than That I Really Cant Knock The Nextrail.

Nextrail, Are You The Guy In Florida That Makes The Trailers, Or The Guy In Oberlin Ohio That Distributes The Trailers
