    If memory serves me correctly, there was talk about 25 years ago. Then I guess I never heard anything more

    Then there was the one that looked like a boat hull on the bottom.

    Those are still being made. Alutrec is the manufacturer. Their price point is way too high though.

    They are quality though. I'd look at an Alutrec if I was shopping.

    I have a 2015 Manac all aluminium 48'x102" flatbed. Actual weight on the scale is almost 8500 lbs with 8 pieces of 4x4x8 dunnage and a couple of 6' tarps. Spec said it was supposed to be under 8k lb.

    This is by far the lightest trailer i have ever owned.
