Order Submitted! I hope I'm not too late...

Installed overhauled engine in 1996, Upper in 2016

I've got just over 1500 tach hours on my 1968 M20F, with good compressions, but I'm starting to think about the future. I just read an article on mooneyland about "10 Ways to Increase Engine Life". I know I'm not restricted to 2000, so, just curious about how far I could go if all goes well. Thanks for all who chime in!

As promised, here's my feedback - I had a great experience with Phil Jimenez at Avon Park, Florida. He did a great pre-buy and really helped me out throughout the process. He was honest and forthright with his opinion of the plane and what he found. Once I decided to purchase the plane, I had him do some elective work for me and I was happy with that too. As other members have indicated here, he not only is a very good and experienced Mooney mechanic and pilot but (maybe even more importantly) he also is just an all around really nice individual. His prices are very reasonable too. If able, I will be headed back there for my annuals and other major maintenance. Thanks also to this mooneyspace community for vectoring me in the right direction. Is there anything NOT to like about Mooneys???

Thanks everybody! PJ in Avon Park seems like the consensus. I hope I can make it happen soon. If I do, I promise to give my feedback. Thanks again!

I'm new to this site but looking forward to many future encounters! I have my sights set on a late 60 or 70s M20F or J, and 'enjoying the search so far. And I may have found just what I'm looking for. It is located at KSUA, Stuart, FL. The plane is already associated with the Stuart Jet Center FBO there, so I'd prefer to get an unassociated opinion, if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone with Mooney experience in the local area, or someone willing to travel. Feel free to take me to school. And thanks in advance for your help.
