As you are doubtless aware, most four-place aircraft won't carry four
people, full fuel, and baggage for four. One remarkable exception is
the Piper PA28-235 (or 236) which has a useful load of about 1,500
lbs, so if you fill it with 85 gallons, it will still carry nearly
1,000 lbs.
A Piper PA32 Cherokee Six(fixed gear)

Saratoga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_Saratoga meets most of

number of hours in-type before you would qualify for insurance
coverage.
You'll find information about new ones he
