I don't know about the value, but wow that's a nice boat.

 

[Xring01]

I will never own a I/O again, but I like this boat for sure.
Classic, but updated, while holding true to the original design.

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

Gorgeous boat. As you know unfortunately not near what’s in it. I’d start low 20’s?
I’ve seen Howard whalers not near as nice 350 io for low teens.

Piper PA-18?

I do have a tailwheel cfi… so YES!

Ron at Bad Attitude boats decided to get his license as he needed to travel. Ron took a few lessons, bought a Baron, continued his lessons in it and his solo flight was in the Baron. What I'm trying to say is get what ever plane works for you and is in your budget.

And it’s turbo and pressurized.

I want it

Pm me if you are serious. This was truly meant to be a what it worth, not an ad. But I will sell it, just not sure what a fair price is. I’ll take an offer. Cool change puts it at mid 20s, but at this early in the game I would entertain anything that starts with a “2” unless I get a bunch of feed back that “I am are higher than giraffe pussy”

I like it!

Does it have an electrical system or hand prop?

you would need to furnish your own starter / sammich maker as there is no electrical system.

 

[Outdrive1]

Beautiful boat. 18/22 would be my guess, only because it’s got an old Volvo. Very nicely done however.
