Now I'm looking for all weather capability, thinking of a turbo-prop.
We're putting together two projects to build a total 55 houses in two
towns....more than we now build in a year. Budget looks like $9.75M.

I should clarifiy that the amount mentioned is for the project, not for the
airplane.

There's usually three or four of us that have to travel together, 550nm
and 600nm
.
Any suggestions?


Nice problem to have! Sounds like the ideal mission profile for a single
turboprop (Meridian, TBM-700, PC-12), or maybe a Malibu Mirage. However,
either of the Pipers might have a problem making a 600 nm trip nonstop
with
4 aboard against a strong headwind and with IFR reserves.

I had been thinking King Air C90B, but a single might work.

How are they for "roominess"? These boys come from the construction trades
and are pretty "big" boys. My project leader is 6'7" and about 260.
