Mooney Rental in the Northeast?

[LuvFlying]

Hello! My first post here.

I'm looking at purchasing a M20J. On paper, it fits my mission very well. But, before I fully comitt to shopping for one, I'd like to try on on for size. 

I'm mostly interested in experiencing sight lines, seating postion, cabin width, entry and egress after a flight.

I'm based at KPOU and wouldn't mind traveling, say, 150nm to get some left seat time in.

Anyone have any ideas where I can rent one (and a CFI)?

Suggestion:  How about listing Mooney aircraft for rent?

My own Mooney is based in CA but I used to rent an M20S at BWI for travel in the east -- I would fly into BWI commercial, ride the shuttle around the field, fly out in a nice Mooney.  Great for trips up and down the east coast.  However that FBO went under in 2008 and the plane is gone.

Anyone know of a Mooney for rent in the mid-Atlantic area?  

Or, for that matter, does anyone care to list a rental Mooney near any major airline-served airport?

Out of ITH. A bit of a hike, but maybe it will work. I looked into training here but found a closer, less expensive alternative. I recall club fees and dues were quite a bit. With luck,  you might be able to rent it for a few hours without having to join or at some prorated level.  Good luck.

There are a couple Mooneys at POU. They all fly about the same. Beg borrow or steal a ride in one. You won't find manyfor rent; you have to know somebody who owns or flies one. You used to be able to find some old C models for rent back in the good old days but I haven't seen one for ages.

I rent mine...but only to a 7500 hour ATP who flies lean of peak, who works for NBAA...who pays for his business travel.

That's totally weird. Bob started this thread a year ago and it is just now getting responses? I know for a fact that Bob owns a 205 now because he outbid me for it last Fall!

I'm in Mississippi with a 62 M20C.  I might be interested in Renting.
