I am in a similar situation,, I think the F33 is a good choice,, probably,
the Mooney is too small for you, have you considered a used Cirrus SR22,,
probably a great choice...most used ones have less than 400 hrs

Yes, I considered the Cirrus and declined. For one thing, every one I find
is more money than the 1993 Bonanza I'm considering.

In my original post, I posted my initial requirements, one of which is a
established parts supply chain and a reputation for rugged construction and
reliability. A reputation that is derived over several years. The Cirrus
line has been around, what, three or four years?
