Default Turbo Dakota question

In a previous article, "Mike Noel" said:
Happy Holidays to the group.
I would like to know more about the turbo Dakota. I understand it was built
for only about a year around 1979-80 and has a TSIO-360 200 HP engine on an
airframe similar to an ArcherII. Why only a year? Is it considered a
desirable airplane?


I doubt it's a 200 hp engine. The non-turbo Dakota has a 235 hp engine.
But yeah, it's the same fuselage as the Warrior, Archer, Arrow, etc.
