Let me know what you think if you get a chance.

Keep looking, that one has hardly any crossmembers. Plus be wary of rebulit galvanized trailers to be sure their pretty new zinc paint job isn't hiding a rust problem.

Gas is lighter than your figures. It's only 6.15 lbs per gal. The trailer looks flimsy.. I'd keep looking.
