Hi Troy. Welcome to the Board!
One thing I have noticed looking at a complementary issue of Trade-A-Plane that they send me periodically is that the number of 150's for sale there is way down from a couple of years ago. My mechanic told me last year that good 150's are getting hard to find. Probably for all the reasons you guys have listed. Good luck in locating one. There was an Aerobat taildragger on here a few days ago. That would be the ticket!
