Didn't I see this plane listed for sale somewhere? Trade-A-Plane or Lasar perhaps. I've been keeping an eye on the market as I am hoping to to be a serious buyer within the next year. Love your Paint scheme BTW. Also, why are you more interested in a B model over the F model?

Just to be clear, Bravos are not M20Bs, they are M20Ms, Turbo, 270 HP, some with FIKI: a far more capable plane.

Thank you for that clarification. I am as my member profile accurately reflects a "Newbie."  I'm trying to get a good handle on the differences between the Mooney models.

See if this helps.  This comes from some aged memories and may have some errors or wishful thinking....

Selecting a Mooney based on it's engine is an easy way to simplify the choices.

M20 - wood wings and tail. Born with a 150hp engine.

M20A - born with a wooden tail, most have been updated.

M20B, C, - 180hp carbureted engine short body. Lyc O360.

M20D -  a C born with fixed gear. Lyc O360

M20E - a C born with 200hp fuel injected engine. Lyc IO360

M20G - a C with a 10" stretch in the back seat. Lyc O360

M20F - a G with an E's Powerplant. Lyc IO360

M20J - a modern version of an F. Lyc IO360

  - 201, Missile - Continental IO550

M20K - a TC'd Continental powered J. 6cyl Continental

  - 231, Rocket, 252

M20L - Porsche powered Long Body. Few Porsche power plants are left operating.

M20M - The first real capable LongBody. Lyc TSIO540.  

  - TLS

  - The Bravo version is an engine mod to improve longevity.

M20R - a super modern version of the F.  Long Body up to 310 NA hp.

  - Ovation, Standing Ovation, 

M20S - 'entry' level of the M20R.  Many have been updated to R level over the last 20 years. AKA Eagle.

M20TN - an S with a TN'd IO550. AKA Acclaim.

I am only a PP, not a mechanic or CFI.  Let me know what details I have missed.

Best regards,
