SOLD: 1965 M20E For Sale, $94.5k, 201-mods, 430W, Dual G5s, Stec-30 with GPSS, available August 1st

highlowfastslow · June 27, 2022

I am listing my 1965 M20E, N48176, for sale. I have owned 48176 since mid-2016 and put over 700 hours on the airplane (115+ tach hours/year). This has been an awesome cross-country machine for my wife and I, but our family is growing and we need to upgrade to a six-seater, otherwise I would keep this plane for much longer.

48176 has many great upgrades, including a genuine 201 cowl, 201-windshield, manual speed brakes, 201-style wingtips and various gap seals and fairings.

This is a very solid and economical IFR platform. I had dual G5s put in along with a 430W that provides GPSS coupled to the STEC-30. The STEC also provides altitude hold so you can fly completely hands off once at cruise altitude. Note that this M20E had the electric gear option installed at the factory, not the J-Bar, but has hydraulic flaps.

48176 has a strong maintenance record and was MSC annualled/maintained at Byerly Aviation (based in Peoria, IL) for five out of the six annuals that I owned it. The airplane shows well. It was painted in 2007, but was hangered since then. There are some minor knicks in the paint, but the airframe overall is in great shape. The interior is average and some of the plastics could use upgrading if the next owner desires.

There is no major damage history (no gear-up in its lifetime), but some minor repairs were done over the years. One of the skins on the vertical stabilizer was replaced years before my ownership. During my ownership, a barrel blew into the left flap while tied down in Hyannis and the flap was rebuilt by Williams Airmotive in 2017. Otherwise there is no other known damage history.

Note that we are still flying so hours may change. Buyer can take delivery starting August 1^st.

I am listing N48176 on Monneyspace first in the hopes that a fellow Mooney enthusiast will be the next owner. Please message me directly if you are interested.
