The trailers are made by Myco. I have been there a number of times when they are finishing up a building run and the trailers are getting ready for shipment. To say there is some MAJOR engineering going on ie: Weight, structure, etc. is a under statement. And all info is classified.

Decomissioned SEAL Boats
Years ago a guy in Deltaville, VA had two or three older generation SEAL go fast boats and trailers. The trailers were in good shape, but the boats were completely stripped. To make things worse. Someone took a forklift and punched holes all down the sides to fully take them out of service.

As someone who manufacture's stuff for the Navy I can tell you that the paperwork/certs that has to accompany the parts, usually weighs more than the part. When you hear people *****ing and moaning about the winning bid to make a toilet for the government being $70,000, you will understand if you ever get a look at the drawings and specs that have to be met. I know what Myco had to go through to get the Navy Weld Qualifications to build that and the inspection qualifications, it takes about a year just to get approved for a specific type of weld for a specific type of joint.

As a member of NSW, I have seen these in Africa too. There driven by SWCC boat operators. Very heavy and made for higher speeds than a 11meter. Diesel powered with nice drives. Very cool boats and hats off to our SWCC boat operators.
