Thoughts this P337

Myself and a couple of partners are looking at a 1973 P337.

Could I please ask the forum to comment?

True cross country flyer.

As of now 5 partners planned.

Looking to spend $20K to update avionics over first year.

My flights are 800 miles or less.

Thx

Has a fair amount of damage history but the price might reflect that a little. No real flying for the last 9 months based on flightaware and no history before that. Maybe they don't file. Ownership is Ireland? Interesting. I would want to see the logs and have my mechanic study them. This will tell you a lot about the plane and how it has been kept. Once you agree on the history and price then it might be worth a look.

The reason I asked about the mission is the P models are heavy planes and more difficult to work on. Lots of systems that need plenty of attention. If the plane has been used right and consistent and taken care of that will be a big plus. If it's been sitting, be careful and know what you are buying.

Agree and agree and agree..

There is some damage history, but all shops that have performed repairs seem to be reputable ones.

A couple of the members are going for a first-hand look and to retrieve copies of the logs.
