Looks like Totally fab bird, but man.... 74 bills?

Price is coming down.......... [barnstormers.com]

Hmmm....


I have a seaplane rating....


hmmmmm.....

And, you've got that money in your stock fund! Pry 60 grand from your millions and just buy the thing!

No. Ed needs to actually use his equipment and ratings before he buys another bird!

Ouch...

OK, floats ... those look like they might be EDO 1650's ... they sell here for $8,000 - $12,000 depending on condition. Skis .... if the are Landis Airglass, they wouldn't sell for less than $1,000, and they could easily be worth $2,000 ... and that's for 2, you get 3 here, so let's just say $2,500 for the skis and $10,000 for the floats. $69.5k - $12.5k is $57K. Three props, long range tanks, light weight starter and alternator, nice paint, mid-time 150HP motor, new glass .... it doesn't sound outrageous to me. It's certainly on the high side, but there's a lot of airplane here. That may be the best Northern set up I've seen for a 150 (but I haven't been to the peninsula to visit Michael Sibley yet). If Cliff is willing to negotiate at all, this seems like a good opportunity for someone.

One note of caution however, gear changeovers can be expensive if you don't do it yourself, and you could end up doing it 4 times a year (floats to wheels, wheels to skis, skis to wheels then wheels back to floats). I know, because I do it with my cub every year.

Good eye, Tom! Good old North American ingenuity!

for that kind of cash, you could own two 150's and not have to bother with the changeover.

Maybe. But could you own two 150/150s including one with floats? And this one appears to be in very good condition.

It might be worth it to someone who is authorized sign off the gear changes.
