Long story short, growing family makes Bonanza expense more than usage...Helpe me sell this beauty at a great value!
I have owned and flown this plane for almost 4 years, almost 600 hours and put many $ into mechanical and avionics upgrades thinking I would own the plane for much longer. Reality is though... It really must go so here is the info.
3420 Total Time on Aircraft
I/O 520BA w/Heavy Case 1000 on engine, 350 on top (but read the rest of the story)
2 Blade McCauly C23 Prop 350hrs, Sent for flush, paint and re-seal less than 100 hours ago
New set of D'Shannon Baffles 2008 (keep those CHT's very low)

Throw Over Yoke
Speed Slope W/S
New Cleveland Brakes and 3 new tires

Even with the time constraints, Plane is regularly flown to keep that oil moving and coating everything!
OK, so the engine has 1000/350 however about 100 hours ago a crack developed in the Oil temp sender fitting at the front of the engine. It was a light case at the time, so I purchased a heavy case, had the engine torn down, all rotating parts sent out for inspection, new bearings, and Cyliders pressure tested, everything checked out to new tollarances, so I had them put it back together with the new case as a repair, Not thinking that I might be selling the plane... Myself, I would fly it until condistion warrants...Runs like a car and NO oil burn/leaks/ussage.
Happy to give SERIOUS buyers a ride as long as they buy lunch...
