I was 31900 on a 53 utility combo flatbed full of fuel and all my crap... 31350 on a 48 Fontaine aluminum flat with the same specs as far as boxes and stuff if you are not all in on aluminum look into it because it might not be worth the extra cash for a not so great weight reductionsinglescrewshaker Thanks this.

Maybe I have too much junk, or too many creature comforts inside. I run a utility 45x96 with four boxes and here's where I sit with 1/2 tanks.
