I'm a mooney M20K driver who needs more space, wants 2 engines and pressurization.
After researching this site (great by the way!) and anything else I can read on 337's .
I'm now looking to aquire a P337 1976 or newer with de-ice, mid to low time enigines (I live in SW Michigan)
The questions are:
1. Value ( speed and maintenance) of a Riley conversion. In the market place it appears on ave. a 40 - 60 k upcharge over same year and equipped P337. I don't mind spending the additional $$ if it saves in maint. and there is a performance advantage.
2. Intercoolers - needed? On my little mooney it helps performance at altitudes.
Thank you in advance for your input,
Ken
