I doubt you have that much. They useful ALWAYS go down when actually
weighed, and the TRUTH comes out.

I should talk, my 185 lost 50# of useful when I weighed her. The factories
always lied about aircraft weight, and didn't have to weigh each one.

I think Jay is saying he has 1460 lbs useful load on his airplane.
I question that. I cannot believe he has an additional 230 lbs of
useful
load unless there is a drop in the max gross weight between the 235 and
the 236/Dakota. His BEW simply cannot be that much lower.

According to that chart, I was off by 10 pounds. ("Only" 1450
pounds...)
Luckily, I just removed an old DME from the panel that weighed about
that much...
