Good value!

You might want to list this on BeechTalk, as well; lots of pictures and information carries the day, there.
 
Price?

(no, I would never downgrade to a single!)
 
Rough luck on all the gear trouble. Nice looking plane though ...

Ya per the owner on both occasions the pilot was able to keep the prop off of the ground...( it was often leased by the FBO to ferry parts to a P135 outfit)...Duncan Aviation in LNK did the airframe repairs which were surpsingly more minor than I would expect...after the second one Beech flew up and verified the gear system was exactly in spec.... turns out a small pin somewhere that was barely diffent than was was supposed be installed was the source of the problems.....never a hint of trouble since....this plane spent most of its life in Denmark and crossed the pond in 99..still has ferry tank connections under the interior/carpet

not knowing, but is 970 lbs. useful load low for this type? I would expect something ~1100 lbs.

the turbo A36TN I flew had a useful of 1186 lbs (300HP)...considering this only has a 225HP O-470K ...I would think 970 is average on the BE-35-C33 type

This is pretty close to my ideal plane in about 25 years. My club has a P35 upgraded to an IO520 that I love.

Fwiw, I have about 125 hours in this plane and it flies super nice and is very smooth. I will miss it.

David White has flown it quite a bit as well.
 
PM sent Thanks ! Beech EGT guage
 
I've also ridden in that plane. It'll make someone a nice traveling machine.
 
I've flown that plane quite a bit. Got my commercial pilots license in it - it's a nice bird.
 
it is an attractive plane!
 
That thing is gorgeous. Above my skillset, otherwise I'd look harder.

I've taught quite a few people how to fly this very airplane, most of which didn't have a significant amount of experience. I can quite confidently say that I could transition most any pilot into this plane in a minimal amount of hours. The training needed is a rounding error in the ownership experience :)

When I flew this airplane I was impressed how quiet it was. It impressed me so much I spent awhile looking for one to buy. Looked at several and in fact Jesse looked at one of the potentials for me. None were as nice as this one and it wasn't for sale at the time.

Just stop, both of you:D
 
Jesse is right on...a weekend and just about anyone could fly it....I've transitioned several into Bonanzas out of standard singles....they were all surprised how quickly they felt comfortable.
