What is the S35 model? What years were they produced?

Thanks.

May as well stay in the family and get a Bonanza. You can get a Bo that
meets all your needs with the S35 and newer. The S35's will run less than
$100K. I have the S35 and you will get 175 kts cruise on 14 gph. Just
farting around the local area? Then 8 gph for 130 kts. You want 150
knots then all you'll need is 10 gph. No aircraft you'll look at short of
the new glass planes like Cirrus and Lancair are as efficient, but with
those you'll get murdered with insurance. The S35 and newer are 6 seaters
but teriffic as four seaters. I have 1260 lbs useful with four seats in.
The main reason I got it was the cabin is huge compared to the 182 I had.
I wanted space, especially for camping. With just two seats in I don't
really need to pack, just pitch the crap in there and go. I had a 182
for 7 years prior to getting the Bo 2 1/2 years ago. Here's my costs.
Annuals. The 182 was always around $1000 if nothing big was wrong. The
Bo is about $1500-1800. Insurance: The 182 settled right in at $1000 a
year for a $70K hull. The Bo is $2300 and dropping for a $90K hull. I
expect it to be in the mid to high teens after another year or two. Where
I save money is gas. Because the 182 would only indicate 135-140 mph at
top of the green I always ran there burning 12.5 gph. At the same speed
the Bo burns 7 gph. In the local area I normally run around at 45% power
burning 8 gph. On a trip from here in Montana to the Twin Cities I shave
an hour off the trip and burn 5 less gallons then the 182. I never would
have considered a Mooney. Main reason is they are pavement only planes. I
got to be able to go off road. The Bo has more prop clearance than my 182
had and I had an oversize nosewheel. Also I did not like the Mooney
interior. Way too small and I really didn't like sitting with my legs
straight out. Plus the windows are like pillbox slits compared to the Bo.

What did you have in mind? You fly out of HFD right?

That was temporary. Now we're back at Windham (IJD).

We're (two of us) looking at the 150+ knot range, 4-5 seats, IFR &
autopilot, ~$100-125k. As we're very early in the process, I'm still
looking into speed / payload / fuel burn trade-offs, cabin size, gear
options.

We'd rather not get smaller up front than the Sundowner, as I'm 6'1" 225,
and my co-owner is 6'6", 185. We'd like to go faster and higher (who
doesn't? G) and possibly gain some load.

I'm looking for a resource to fit aircraft to the mission, where I can
start getting price and insurance ideas from Trade-a-Plane, etc...
