Beautiful plane. I own one that rolled down the production line shortly after yours SN#377 N7138U. I bought mine Jan 2016 and have flown her about 125 hours in the first 6 months of ownership. I am looking at a major on the engine in the next few months as it sat for 6 years before I got it and compressions on #1 and #3 are in the low 60's with oil consumption running about 1 qt / 3 hours. I am slowly(as budget allows) making improvements to her. As others have said Mooney's aren't hard to fly, they just don't want to quit flying. My insurance only required a CFI signoff, no set hours (I transitioned from a Bonanza 35E). Watch your speeds in the pattern and you will do fine. I shoot for 100mph on downwind, 90 on base, and 80 over the numbers. For me that sets it down beautifully.

Do you mind sharing what information you came across? I was looking at the same plane
